ye rishta-e-jaan meri tabahi ka sabab hai
is qaid se chhuTne ki tamanna bhi ajab hai
is arsa-e-mahshar mein KHamoshi bhi sada hai
TuTi hui qabron mein baDa shor-o-shab hai
suraj ko ye zid us ki ek bund na rah jae
honTon ko faqat pyas bujhane ki talab hai
chehre pe thakan sans ki zanjir pareshan
aankhon mein magar ab bhi wahi ghaiz-o-ghazab hai
kyun dil ko ye hasrat hai kisi aur ko pale
is shahar mein mujh sa koi pahle tha na ab hai
Ghazal
Ye rishta-e-jaan meri tabahi ka sabab hai
