ye baat munkashif hui charag ke baghair bhi
main DhunD lunga har KHushi charag ke baghair bhi
hua tha jis jagah kabhi visal-e-yar dosto
hai us jagah pe raushni charag ke baghair bhi
likkhi gai hain jis ke sath zindagi ki manzilen
wo aa milega aadmi charag ke baghair bhi
masarraton ke qafile luTa rahi hai phir mujhe
teri ye KHud-supurdagi charag ke baghair bhi
main tazkira karun to kya karun jamal-e-yar ka
damak rahi thi dilkashi charag ke baghair bhi
tumhaari ek yaad be-shumar hasraton ke rang
nigah mein saja gai charag ke baghair bhi
gila kisi se kyun karun guzar hi jaegi 'KHayal'
ye muKHtasar si zindagi charag ke baghair bhi
Ghazal
Ye baat munkashif hui charag ke baghair bhi
