yas ki badli yun dil par chha gai
zindagi se zindagi ukta gai
ranj-o-gham to pahle hi kuchh kam na the
yaad teri kyun hamein taDpa gai
aap ne to jhuTa wada kar diya
jaan muTThi mein hamari aa gai
zindagi ye dekh kar us ke sitam
maut bhi insan se ghabra gai
dekh kar is daur ki ayyariyan
kanp uTha dil nazar tharra gai
sar uThaya jab tassub ne 'shafaq'
aadamiyat ki tabahi aa gai
Ghazal
Yas ki badli yun dil par chha gai
Gopal Krishna Shafaq
