wahi jo rah ka patthar tha be-tarash bhi tha

ajib shaKHs hai patthar se par banata hai

dard ki lai ko baDha do ki main zinda hun abhi

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

zehn zinda hai magar apne sawalat ke sath

lamha-dar-lamha guzarta hi chala jata hai

meri ghazal jo nae saz se ibarat hai

KHwab to KHwab hai tabir badal jati hai

abhi to aankhon mein na-dida KHwab baqi hain

dil ke bhule hue afsane bahut yaad aae

dil hai palkon mein simaT aata hai aansu ki tarah

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
