tabassum hai wo honTon par jo dil ka kaam kar jae
unhen is ki nahin parwa koi marta hai mar jae
dua hai meri ai dil tujh se duniya kuch kar jae
aur aisi kuchh bane tujh par ki armanon se Dar jae
jo mauqa mil gaya to KHizr se ye baat puchhenge
jise ho justuju apni wo bechaara kidhar jae
sahar ko sina-e-alam mein partaw Dalne wale
tasadduq apne jalwe ka mera baatin sanwar jae
pareshan baal karte hain unhen shoKHi se matlab hai
bikharta hai agar shiraaza-e-alam bikhar jae
hayat-e-daimi ki lahar hai is zindagani mein
agar marne se pahle ban paDe to 'josh' mar jae
Ghazal
Tabassum hai wo honTon par jo dil ka kaam kar jae
