use baam-e-pazirai pe kaise chhoD dun ab

hum unki aas pe umren guzar dete hain

jo zindagi ki mang sajate rahe sada

subh kaisi hai wahan sham ki rangat kya hai

is liye maine muhafiz nahin rakkhe apne

dasht-e-shab mein pata hi nahin chal saka

zara si der tujhe aaina dikhaya hai

hawa ko zid ki uDaegi dhul har surat

ai shahr-e-sitam chhoD ke jate hue logo

logo hum to ek hi surat mein hathiyar uThate hain

ghazal uske liye kahte hain lekin dar-haqiqat hum

samajh mein aa to sakti hai saba ki guftugu bhi

shab bhar aankh mein bhiga tha

der lagti hai bahut lauT ke aate aate

jab bhi chahun tera chehra soch sakun
