zamana guzra hai tufan-e-gham uThae hue
ghazal ke parde mein rudad-e-dil sunae hue
hamin the jin se gunah-e-wafa hua sarzad
khaDe hain dar ke sae mein sar jhukae hue
hamare dil ke sabhi raaz fash karte hain
jhuki jhuki si nazar honT kapkapae hue
hamare dil ke andheron ka gham na kar hamdam
hamare dam se ye raste hain jagmagae hue
shumar-e-roz-o-shab-o-mah kis ne rakkha hai
hazaron sal hue un ko dil mein aae hue
guzarte rahte hain nazron se sari shab 'mumtaz'
hazaron qafile yaadon ke sar jhukae hue
Ghazal
Zamana guzra hai tufan-e-gham uThae hue
Mumtaz Mirza
