wo raqs kahan aur wo tab-o-tab kahan hai
wo sajda-e-shauq aur wo mehrab kahan hai
hai aabla-pai hi tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa
sahra-e-laq-o-daq hai yahan aab kahan hai
auraq-e-dil-o-jaan mein hain kuchh dagh hi baqi
wo ishq-o-aqidat ka hasin bab kahan hai
ek ashk-e-nadamat ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin hai
palkon pe sajaya hua wo KHwab kahan hai
ab durd-e-tah-e-jam hai ya tishna-labi hai
sahba wo kahan saghar-e-mahtab kahan hai
kya TuT gae aap hi shabnam ke wo dhage
wo pyar ka resham dil-e-betab kahan hai
'tanwir' rah-e-zist mein tanha ye safar kyun
wo lutf kahan pursish-e-ahbab kahan hai
Ghazal
Wo raqs kahan aur wo tab-o-tab kahan hai
Tanveer Ahmad Alvi
