Ghazal -page 289

Ye soch ke shikast pe hum muskra diye-

Nakamiyon ne jeet ke gur sikha diye-

Aane ki thi ummeed, na aane ka yakin-Hum ne kai chiragh jela ke bujha diye-

Ik khudkeshi ka sab ko bata-te phiro jewaaz-

Iss zindgi ne kitne misail badha diye-

Koshish yehi hai khatm na ho ye mezahamat-

Kitne megar hawaa se laden-ge diye?-

Kasya badmast sheher ki galiyon mein ghoomte-

Goya guzer gaye hain zamaane sadaa diye huye-

Tu aks ki talaash mein hum tak pahunch gaya-

Tujh ko to aik umr hui aina diye huye-

Derya tha dost raaz,ussi se tujhe baant-te--

Awraaq kuch bayaaz se phare , behaa diye-

Us ne baraya haath, mujhe thamna parha-

Honthon ne barh ke haath pe jugnu seja diye-

Tum se keha tha, kaanch ke hain--

Tum ne to mere khwab zamin pe gira diye
