tah-e-girdab to bachna mera dushwar hai phir bhi
kinare dur hain TuTi hui patwar hai phir bhi
thakan se chur hun, sar rakh diya hai us ke sine par
mujhe malum hai ye ret ki diwar hai phir bhi
mata-e-rishta-e-jaan karobar-e-manfat kab thi
KHaridaron ke halqe mein sar-e-bazar hai phir bhi
meri muTThi mein nazuk pankhuDi mahfuz rahti hai
bachana sang-bari mein use dushwar hai phir bhi
tere lahje ki shabnam jazb kar de kuchh nami is mein
agarche dil sulagti ret ka ambar hai phir bhi
charagh-e-arzu hai muntazir dahliz par meri
wo duri ke dhundlakon mein bahut lachaar hai phir bhi
samundar tishnagi ka ab sarab-e-ishq mein zam hai
shikasta haal mera shisha-e-pindar hai phir bhi
ye miTi chaak par thamti nahin hai, itni gili hai
kaThin ye marhala hai, kuza-gar la-chaar hai phir bhi
Ghazal
Tah-e-girdab to bachna mera dushwar hai phir bhi
