to phir wo ishq ye naqd-o-nazar barae-faroKHt
suKHan barae-hunar hai hunar barae-faroKHt
ayan kiya hai tera raaz fi-sabilillah
KHabar na thi ki hai ye bhi KHabar barae-faroKHt
main qafile se bichhaD kar bhala kahan jaun
sajae baiTha hun zad-e-safar barae-faroKHt
parinde laD hi paDe jaedad par aaKHir
shajar pe likkha hua hai shajar barae-faroKHt
main pahle kufa gaya is ke baad misr gaya
idhar barae-shahadat udhar barae-faroKHt
zara ye dusra misra durust farmaen
mere makan pe likkha hai ghar barae-faroKHt
Ghazal
To phir wo ishq ye naqd-o-nazar barae-faroKHt
