matla ghazal ka ghair zaruri kya kyun kab ka hissa hai

main use sochta raha yani

wo gul wo KHwab-shaar bhi nahin raha

dekh na is tarah guzar arsa-e-chashm se mujhe

dhum gum-gashta KHazanon ki machata phire kaun

ab masafat mein to aaram nahin aa sakta

dost kuchh aur bhi hain tere alawa mere dost

dil mein hai ittifaq se dasht bhi ghar ke sath sath

rabt asiron ko abhi us gul-e-tar se kam hai

mere qarib hi mahtab dekh sakta tha

dekha nahin chand ne palaT kar

is se pahle ki zamin-zad shararat kar jaen

is se phulon wale bhi aajiz aa gae hain

aur wahshat hai irada mera

yahan se chaaron taraf raste nikalte hain
