yahi tha waqf teri mahfil-e-tarab ke liye

chain paDta hai dil ko aaj na kal

gardish-e-jam nahin ruk sakti

dil ka moamla nigah-e-ashna ke sath

din Dhala sham hui phul kahin lahrae

naghma aisa bhi mere sina-e-sad-chaak mein hai

gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan ka nishan hai ki jo tha

ye arz-e-shauq hai aaraish-e-bayan bhi to ho

kisi ki ishwa-gari se ba-ghair-e-fasl-e-bahaar

hum bin gham-e-yar bhi jiye hain

waiz-e-shahr KHuda hai mujhe malum na tha

dil hai aaina-e-hairat se do-chaar aaj ki raat

sab ke jalwe nazar se guzre hain

mai ho saghar mein ki KHun raat guzar jaegi

aai sahar qarib to maine paDhi ghazal
