ye shahr-e-tarab dekh bayaban mein kya hai
ai tair-e-wahshat tere imkan mein kya hai
jugnu ki tarah phirte hain tare mere dil mein
kis soch mein gum hun ye mere dhyan mein kya hai
kya un pe guzarti hai suno un ki zabani
zaKHmon se kabhi puchho namak-dan mein kya hai
inkar se iqrar ka rishta hai bhala kya
ye kufr ki surat mere iman mein kya hai
yaadon ki ghani chhanw hai ya gham ki siyahi
ashjar-sifat sehan-e-dil-o-jaan mein kya hai
Ghazal
Ye shahr-e-tarab dekh bayaban mein kya hai
