ye makin kya ye makan sab la-makan ka khel hai
ek fusun hai ye jahan sab aasman ka khel hai
muddaton ke baad koi hum se ye kah kar mila
kuchh nahin ye hijr bas aah-o-fughan ka khel hai
aaj sukhe phul jab hum ko kitabon mein mile
sochne par yaad aaya baghban ka khel hai
ek majnun se sar-e-bazar jab puchha gaya
ishq kya hai to kaha donon-jahan ka khel hai
sahilon par dekhte hain jab taDapti machhliyan
ek sada aati hai ye mauj-e-rawan ka khel hai
gar 'sahar' us ko manana hai to mahw-e-raqs chal
sun rahe hain aaj raqs-e-dil-baran ka khel hai
Ghazal
Ye makin kya ye makan sab la-makan ka khel hai
Shujaat Iqbal
