waqt ne luTe hain hasti ke KHazane kitne
KHak ka Dher hue qasr na-jaane kitne
KHwab ehsas nazar yaad tasawwur dhaDkan
main ne tere liye rakkhe hain Thikane kitne
aaj manzil pe pahunch kar mujhe ehsas hua
rah mein chhuT gae dost purane kitne
dil wo panchhi hai kabhi dam mein aata hi nahin
chuk jate hain nigahon ke nishane kitne
jab bhi tabir ki aankhon se milain aankhen
ruh ko chhed gae KHwab suhane kitne
daman-e-sabr na chhoDenge kabhi ahl-e-wafa
tum banaoge meri jaan bahane kitne
kya bataun main rah-e-sher-o-suKHan mein ai 'atib'
naqsh chhoDe hain meri fikr-e-rasa ne kitne
Ghazal
Waqt ne luTe hain hasti ke KHazane kitne
