Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
na jaane sher mein kis dard ka hawala tha
wo mere dil ki raushni wo mere dagh le gai
main sar chhupaun kahan saya-e-nazar ke baghair
aaankhon mein sitare se chamakte rahe ta-der
jis ka inkar bhi inkar na samjha jae
koi sitara-e-girdab aashna tha main
kuchh hain manzar haal ke kuchh KHwab mustaqbil ke hain
naya mazmun kitab-e-zist ka hun
ishq aur nang-e-arzu se aar
majburiyon ka pas bhi kuchh tha wafa ke sath
KHair ka tujhko yaqin hai aur usko shar ka hai
meri ghazal mein ek naya soz-e-jaan bhi hai
ban ke duniya ka tamasha moatabar ho jaenge
samaaton ko amin-e-nawa-e-raaz kiya
teri jaanib se dil mein waswase hain
