ye durweshon ki basti hai yahan aisa nahin hoga
libas-e-zindagi phaT jaega maila nahin hoga
share-bazar mein qimat uchhalti girti rahti hai
magar ye KHun-e-muflis hai kabhi mahnga nahin hoga
tere ehsas ki inTen lagi hain is imarat mein
hamara ghar tere ghar se kabhi uncha nahin hoga
hamari dosti ke bich KHud-gharzi bhi shamil hai
ye be-mausam ka phal hai ye bahut miTha nahin hoga
purane shahr ke logon mein ek rasm-e-murawwat hai
hamare pas aa jao kabhi dhoka nahin hoga
ye aisi choT hai jis ko hamesha dukhte rahna hai
ye aisa zaKHm hai jo umr bhar achchha nahin hoga
Ghazal
Ye durweshon ki basti hai yahan aisa nahin hoga
