Kareem Nagar, Telangana, India
chandni chhiTki hui ho to ghazal hoti hai
sar-e-niyaz jhukana koi mazaq nahin
zad-e-rah bhi nahin be-raKHt-e-safar jate hain
mana ki lab-e-zaKHm duhai nahin deta
ye surmai aafaq ye shamon ke dhundalke
aap apni naqab hai pyare
kaha ye kis ne mujhe zindagi se pyar nahin
ek barq-e-tapan kaudde bijli si chamke jae
ye aalam-e-wahshat hai ki dahshat ka asar hai
ye ruashni-e-taba dikhane ki aarzu
ye kya tumhaare ji mein samai tamam-raat
KHayal-o-fikr jahan zawiye badalte hain
ye gardish-e-haalat ye afkar-e-zindagi
nazar ne kaam kiya dil ke tarjuman ki tarah
nazar milate nahin muskurae jate hain
