tishnagi apni bujhane ke liye jab gae hain
dasht bechaare samundar ke tale dab gae hain
kuch karne ki ghaDi hai magar ai ham-safro
hum udhar ja nahin sakte jidhar sab gae hain
ghair shaista-e-adab-e-mohabbat na sahi
hum tere hijr ke aazar mein mar kab gae hain
ab koi aks hai salim na kisi ka chehra
aaina-KHane mein kya dekhne sahab gae hain
koi rasta na mila ghar se nikal kar hum ko
hum usi ku-e-malamat ko gae jab gae hain
teri auqat hi kya 'midhat-ul-aKHtar' sun le
shahr ke shahr zaminon ke tale dab gae hain
Ghazal
Tishnagi apni bujhane ke liye jab gae hain
Midhat-ul-Akhtar
