ye aankh tanz na ho zaKHm-e-dil hara na lage
mujhe qarar to ho ya use haya na lage
fishaar-e-jaan ho to kaifiyat-e-mukammal ho
wo iztirab to ho iztirab sa na lage
wo ru-ba-ru ho to aaraish-e-bayan bhi na ho
ki main kahun to kisi aur ka kaha na lage
muamalat-e-mohabbat mizaj rakhte hain
tabiaten hon jo yaksan to fasla na lage
KHizan-rasida chaman mein bhi jhulti ho bahaar
gulon se rang kali se mahak juda na lage
yahi to hoti hai waz-e-shaguftan-e-mahtab
miyan-e-abr ho ya aasman khula na lage
wahi to dard hai jo dard-e-ma-siwa samjhe
rifaqaten hon to aalam nigar-KHana lage
alam to KHair alam hai ki paedar nahin
wabaal hai jo KHushi bhi gurez-pa na lage
ulajh rahi hain KHayali uDan se aankhen
kahin nawishta-e-diwar be-sada na lage
Ghazal
Ye aankh tanz na ho zaKHm-e-dil hara na lage
