Ghazal by shayarah Sarah Huma Sheikh--
Dil mein ranj o ghamke hain ambaar bahut,
Jaise apne kam hainaur aghyar bahut,
Soch ke rakhna paon ishq ki waadi mein,
Iss mein phool hain thode lekin khaar bahut,
Tum to aik hi pal mein sab bhool gaye,
Lekin hum ko hai matloob adwaar bahut,
Aahein , naale , aansu, aur kasak dil ki,
Tere liye hai nazranah ye char bahut,
Tum ne to poocha hi nahin haal kabhi,
Warna hum ne kiya tha izhaar bahut,
Dil gulshan mein phool wafah kekhilte hain ,
Mere har sau rehti hai mehekagr bahut,
Ab to huma aa jaotaab nahin baqi,
Bin tere rehte hain hum bezaar bahut
