Darbhanga, Bihar, India
KHwab ki basti mein afsane ka ghar
jab nigah-e-talab moatabar ho gai
apne haalat ka asir hun main
jab bhi gulshan mein chali ThanDi hawa
main pahuncha apni manzil tak magar aahista aahista
pa ke tufan ka ishaara dariya
KHun jab ashk mein Dhalta hai ghazal hoti hai
meri aankhon mein aansu pyare
subh safar aur sham safar
muddaa-o-arzu shauq-e-tamanna aap hain
pursish hai chashm-e-ashk-e-fasha par na aae harf
mar jaenge pindar ka sauda na karenge
ghazal mein fan ka jauhar jab dikhate hain ghazal wale
kya yahan dekhiye kya wahan dekhiye
har waraq ek kitab ho jae
