wahi jo rah ka patthar tha be-tarash bhi tha

ajib shaKHs hai patthar se par banata hai

mil bhi jata jo aab aab-e-baqa kya karte

dard ki lai ko baDha do ki main zinda hun abhi

zehn zinda hai magar apne sawalat ke sath

meri ghazal jo nae saz se ibarat hai

lamha-dar-lamha guzarta hi chala jata hai

KHwab to KHwab hai tabir badal jati hai

dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae

dil hai palkon mein simaT aata hai aansu ki tarah

abhi to aankhon mein na-dida KHwab baqi hain

wo raqs kahan aur wo tab-o-tab kahan hai

kya zaruri hai koi be-sabab aazar bhi ho

bazm-e-jaan phir nigah-e-tauba-shikan mange hai

ye baat dasht-e-wafa ki nahin chaman ki hai
