ye kahan lagi ye kahan lagi jo qafas se shor-e-fughan uTha
jale aashiyane kuchh is tarah ki har ek dil se dhuan uTha
lagi aag mere jigar mein yun na lage kisi ke bhi ghar mein yun
na to lau uThi na chamak hui na sharar uDe na dhuan uTha
koi mast-e-mai-kada aa gaya mai-e-be-KHudi wo pila gaya
na sada-e-naghma-e-dair uThi na haram se shor-e-azan uTha
gae sath shaiKH-e-haram ke hum na koi mila na liye qadam
na to KHum baDha na subu jhuka jo uTha to pir-e-mughan uTha
lab-e-KHum se nikle sada-e-qum sar-e-dosh aise hazar KHam
KHam-e-asman bhi ho jis mein gum wo siyah abr kahan uTha
tujhe mai-e-farosh KHabar bhi hai ki maqam kaun hai kya hai shai
ye rah-e-haram mein dukan-e-mai tu yahan se apni dukan uTha
ye saped-rish 'riyaz' hai jo bana hai bazm mein pand-go
ise kyun na abr-e-siyah kahun ki baras paDa ye jahan uTha
Ghazal
Ye kahan lagi ye kahan lagi jo qafas se shor-e-fughan uTha
