wasl ka us ke dil-e-zar tamannai hai
na mulaqat hai jis se na shanasai hai
qata ummid ne dil kar diye yaksu sad shukr
shakl muddat mein ye allah ne dikhlai hai
quwwat-e-dast-e-KHudai hai shakebai mein
waqt jab aa ke paDa hai yahi kaam aai hai
Dar nahin ghair ka jo kuchh hai so apna Dar hai
hum ne jab khai hai apne hi se zak khai hai
nashe mein chur na hon jhanjh mein maKHmur na hon
pand ye pir-e-KHarabaat ne farmai hai
nazar aati nahin ab dil mein tamanna koi
baad muddat ke tamanna meri bar aai hai
baat sachchi kahi aur ungliyan uTThin sab ki
sach mein 'haali' koi ruswai si ruswai hai
Ghazal
Wasl ka uske dil-e-zar tamannai hai
