ye nahin pahle teri yaad se nisbat kam thi
majra ye tha ki ehsas mein shiddat kam thi
kis liye chhin liya to ne ghazalon ka sukun
is KHarabe ke liye kya meri wahshat kam thi
waise bhi us se koi rabt na rakkha main ne
yun bhi duniya mein kashish teri ba-nisbat kam thi
tere kirdar ko itna to sharaf hasil hai
tu nahin tha to kahani mein haqiqat kam thi
hum to us waqt bhi raushan the kisi goshe mein
jab zamane ko charaghon ki zarurat kam thi
Ghazal
Ye nahin pahle teri yaad se nisbat kam thi
Iqbal Ashhar
