ye junun ke marke itne nahin aasan bhi
soch lena is mein ja sakti hai teri jaan bhi
raushni bhi chahiye taza hawa ke sath sath
khiDkiyan rakhta hun apne ghar mein roshan-dan bhi
zindagi mein jo tumhein KHud se ziyaada the aziz
un se milne kya kabhi jate ho qabristan bhi
ganw ki pagDanDiyan pakki saDak se ja milin
tang galiyon mein badal kar rah gae maidan bhi
pasban-e-aql ne to mujh ko samjhaya bahut
tha magar pahlu mein mere dil sa ek nadan bhi
KHushk hain dariya samundar kaT gae jangal tamam
ret se KHali hue jate hain registan bhi
mere lafzon ke ujale mand paDte jaenge
dhund mein kho jaegi ek din meri pahchan bhi
KHud ko kaise qatl hone se bachata mein 'talab'
raat mere ghar mein ek qatil tha aur mehman bhi
Ghazal
Ye junun ke marke itne nahin aasan bhi
