yahi nahin ki nigahon ko ashk-bar kiya
tere firaq mein daman bhi tar tar kiya
mata-e-ishq yahi hasil-e-hayat yahi
KHulus nazar kiya aur dil nisar kiya
yahi bas ek KHata wajh-e-be-qarari thi
jo reg-zar mein baran ka intizar kiya
zar-e-bayan se muzayyan nuqush-e-husn kiye
mata-e-harf ko midhat-sara-e-yar kiya
palaT ke aa gae nale jo aasmanon se
KHuda ko chhoD diya kufr iKHtiyar kiya
Ghazal
Yahi nahin ki nigahon ko ashk-bar kiya
Iqbal Kaifi
