Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
ehsas ka wasil-e-izhaar hai ghazal
gardish jise matlub hai gulzar mein aawe
ru-e-zeba ko dikhate hain chale jate hain
dekha tha jo bhi KHwab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
lauT kar jaise daur-e-shabab aa gaya
tha jo mere zauq ka saman aadha rah gaya
amn-o-sulh-o-ashti ho jaise bimari ka nam
insaniyat na jis mein ho wo aadmi nahin
wo jalwa-gah-e-naz mein jis waqt aa gae
usne kiya hai wada-e-farda aane do usko aae to
wo bhul gaya mujhse barson ki shanasai
gul-badan gul-ezar aa jao
dar-ba-dar phirta tha jab-tab tujhe aabaad kiya
uski duzdida-nigahi dekhna achchha laga
mushtahar nam karo tum mera aKHbaron mein
