tariq-e-kohna pe ab nazm-e-gulistan na rahe
meri bahaar ko andesha-e-KHizan na rahe
ye aarzu hai badal jae rasm-e-shahr-e-wafa
udas husn na ho ishq sar-garan na rahe
payam-e-wasl se dil bagh bagh ho jaen
labon pe shikwa-e-be-mehri-e-butan na rahe
tulu-e-mehr baDe tuzk-o-ehtisham se ho
ufuq siyahi-e-shab se dhuan dhuan na rahe
samaaton pe musalsal ho naghmagi ka nuzul
nazar mein zisht-manazir ka karwan na rahe
masarraton ke pharere jahan mein lahraen
gham-o-alam ke liye gosha-e-aman na rahe
ba-ru-e-adl sabhi apna apna hissa len
aur ehtimal-e-ghalat baKHshi-e-mughan na rahe
Ghazal
Tariq-e-kohna pe ab nazm-e-gulistan na rahe
