phul sa ek khila hai aankhon mein

sardi garmi barkha tinon ek sath hi baste hain

uski pahle se thi nazar shayad

basti mein qatl-e-am ki koshish na ban saka

waqt-e-safar jo sath chale the

hanste hanste wo jo roya

dil mein gham aankh mein hansi dekhi

hai mere dil ki ye taswir nazar mein rakh lo

sochna hai to phir khari soche

wasl kiya hai shama jala kar

baat kaisi bhi ho andaz naya deta tha

dil dhaDakne ka sabab kya hoga

din munh khole gati dhup

awwal ghazal ibaadat ki

wo hawa ka mizaj rakhte hain
