teri thaki hui aaankhon mein KHwab tha ki nahin
mere sawal ka koi jawab tha ki nahin
uTha ke sirf babulon ke KHar le aae
chaman chaman kahin taza gulab tha ki nahin
baDe sukun se rahe mom ke badan wale
tumhaara shahr tah-e-aftab tha ki nahin
har ek shaKHs wahan gin raha tha lahron ko
guzarte lamhon ka koi hisab tha ki nahin
sarab tishna-labi dhup aabla-pai
KHayal pichhle safar ka azab tha ki nahin
har ek samt udasi ka rang tha 'shahid'
wo jalwa-saz kabhi be-hijab tha ki nahin
Ghazal
Teri thaki hui aaankhon mein KHwab tha ki nahin
