ye hukm hai teri rahon mein dusra na mile
shamim-e-jaan tujhe pairahan-e-saba na mile
bujhi hui hain nigahen ghubar hai ki dhuan
wo rasta hai ki apna bhi naqsh-e-pa na mile
jamal-e-shab mere KHwabon ki raushni tak hai
KHuda-na-karda charaghon ki lau baDha na mile
qadam qadam meri viraniyon ke rang-mahal
dilon ko zaKHm ki saughat-e-KHusrawana mile
tum is dayar mein insan ko DhunDhti ho jahan
wafa mile to ba-ehsas-e-mujrimana mile
gae dinon ke hawale se tum ko pahchana
hum aaj KHud se mile aur walihana mile
kidhar se sang chala tha 'ada' kahan pahuncha
jo ek Thes se TuTen unhen baha na mile
Ghazal
Ye hukm hai teri rahon mein dusra na mile
Ada Jafri
