Ghazal

*

Tamam umar hwaa ke dabaau mein rehna
Bahot kathin tha musalsal tanaau mein rehna

*

Ajeeb shart thi, tankar khade n hone ki
Jahan ke saamne paiham jhukaau mein rehna

*

Mein wo pahaad, thirakti hai naddiya jis par
Mera naseeb hai hardam kataau mein rehna

*

Huwa n mujh se kabhi dushmano pe bhi hamla
Hai jang ladne ka maqsad bachaau mein rehna

*

Nikalna qaid se bahar to sirf khwabon mein
Phir us ke baad ghamon ke alaau mein rehna

*

N jaane kaisa hasad hai ke khatm hota nahin
Mere khilaaf zamane ka daau mein rehna

*

N ab libaas ki prwaah n tan ki zebaaish
Ajeeb daur tha bas rakh-rakhaau mein rehna

*

Jiyo kuch ayse ke har roz raoz-e-aakhir ho
Tamam umar yunhi chal chalaau mein rehna

*
