tha abas tark-e-talluq ka irada yun bhi
ishq zinda nahin rahta hai ziyaada yun bhi
ek to in aankhon mein nashsha tha bala ka us par
hum ko marghub hai kaifiyyat-e-baada yun bhi
nama-bar us se na ahwal hamara kahna
wo tunuk-KHu hai bigaD jae mabaada yun bhi
so gae hum bhi ki be-kar tha rasta takna
us ko aana hi nahin tha shab-e-wada yun bhi
kuchh to wo husn pasheman hai jafa par apni
aur kuchh us ke liye dil tha kushada yun bhi
kuch kar jate hain hum ku-e-mohabbat se 'faraaz'
in dinon chaak-e-gareban hain ziyaada yun bhi
Ghazal
Tha abas tark-e-talluq ka irada yun bhi
Ahmad Faraz
