us aankh na us dil se nikale hue hum hain
yun hai ki zara KHud ko sambhaale hue hum hain
is bazm mein ek jashn-e-charaghan hai unhi se
kuchh KHwab jo palkon pe ujale hue hum hain
kuchh aur chamakta hai ye dil jaisa sitara
kin dard ki lahron ke hawale hue hum hain
dil hai ki koi faisla kar hi nahin pata
ek mauj-e-tazabzub ke uchhaale hue hum hain
wo ho na saka apna to hum ho gae us ke
us shaKHs ki marzi hi mein Dhaale hue hum hain
is mamlikat-e-lafz-o-bayan mein bhi to 'ashfaq'
ek rah alag apni nikale hue hum hain
Ghazal
Us aankh na us dil se nikale hue hum hain
