zahr to la-jawab tha us ka
din hi shayad KHarab tha us ka
jabki mera sawal sidha tha
phir bhi ulTa jawab tha us ka
wo mahz dhup ka musafir tha
ham-safar aaftab tha us ka
aankh jaise koi samundar ho
aur lahja sharab tha us ka
mutmain tha wo zat se apni
KHud hi wo intiKHab tha us ka
Ghazal
Zahr to la-jawab tha us ka
