pehle bhi ye dil hijr se be haal hua ha

pehle bhi ye dil hijr se be haal hua ha

pehle bhi bicharne ki saza pai ha uss ne

rukhsat ki aziyyat me jo shiddat hai, sahi ha

ayaa ha boht yad kisi chashm ka jaadoo

khud se bohat aai kisi malboos ki khushboo

khencha ha boht qalb ko guzre hue kal ne

din bhar kabhi doori ne zuboon haal rakha ha

rukhsat ki ghari theher gai rooh me jaise

es baar jo aya ha magr, hijr ka mosam

es me dil beemar ki wehshat hi alag ha

mitti se judai ki hikayat hi alag ha

kuch der ki takheer jo hoti hai watan se

lagta ha ke ab jan nikal jae gi tan sey!

Ghazal

sula raha tha nai bedaar kar saka tha mujhe

wo jaise khawab me mehsoos kar raha tha mujhe

yehi that chand aur es ko gawah thehraa kr

zara sa yaad tou kar tu ne kya kaha tha mujhe

tamam raat meri khwab gaah roshan thi

kisi ne khwab me ek phool de dya tha mujhe

wo din bhi aye ke khushboo se meri aankh khuli

aur ek rang haqeeqat me chhoo raha tha mujhe

me apni khaak pe kaise na lout kar aatee

bohat qareeb se koi pukarta tha mujhe

daroon-e- khaima hi mera qayaam rehna tha

tu meer-e-fouj ne lashkar me kyun liya tha mujhe
