waqti ye hisab-e-zulm kab hai
tariKH ke hafize mein sab hai
hum pahle bhi kam dukhi nahin the
ye haal kabhi na tha jo ab hai
jaanon ko laga shadid aazar
sangin hi kuchh is ka sabab hai
wo rut hai na ab wo ham-nawa hain
ab nauha-e-KHu-gari hi kar-e-lab hai
ehsas ke band TuTte hain
lekin ye shikastagi ajab hai
dil jalta hai kuchh khule bhi aaKHir
kab tak ye tamazat-e-ghazab hai
kya maut hi ab hai chaara-e-jaan
har lamha-e-umr KHun-talab hai
Ghazal
Waqti ye hisab-e-zulm kab hai
