tera har raaz chhupae hue baiTha hai koi
KHud ko diwana banae hue baiTha hai koi
saqi-e-bazm ke maKHsus ishaaron ki qasam
jam honTon se lagae hue baiTha hai koi
is numaish-gah-e-alam mein kami hai ab tak
ashk aankhon mein chhupae hue baiTha hai koi
shab ki dewi ka sukut aur hi kuchh kahta hai
phir bhi do shamen jalae hue baiTha hai koi
meri ek aarzu-e-did ka eajaz na puchh
munh ko hathon se chhupae hue baiTha hai koi
yaad bhi teri ek aazar-e-musalsal hai magar
apne sine se lagae hue baiTha hai koi
hum ko malum hai 'aKHtar' ki hamari KHatir
ek aalam ko bhulae hue baiTha hai koi
Ghazal
Tera har raaz chhupae hue baiTha hai koi
Akhtar Siddiqui
