soch ka ek jalta sa diya hai
soya hua dukh jag uTha hai
chehra chehra bojh thakan ka
aadhe raste par baiTha hai
gahri yaadon ka suraj bhi
dhire dhire Dub chala hai
aag laga kar apne ghar ka
koi tamasha dekh raha hai
KHali hath aur KHali chehre
pani rasta DhunDh raha hai
kirnon ki matwali faza mein
suraj sa ek thaal gaDa hai
raste jate hain ganw ko
shahr ne chehra badal liya hai
mujh mein koi bas jae phir
KHali kamra bol raha hai
dur chalen 'maKHdum' yahan se
ek uDte panchhi ne kaha hai
Ghazal
Soch ka ek jalta sa diya hai
Makhdoom Munawwar
