ghazal

bohut gham he hamai.N dil ka mager kis ko batai.N ham
yehi soocha he ke ab dard-e-dil ko bhool jayai.N ham

yaha.N tu sab he bachche hai.N khlono.N mai.N hai.N dil inke
inhai.N insaan ke babat bhala ab kya batai.N ham

ager chezoo.N se dil nikle tu wo dil ki taraf dekhe
ager dil ki taraf dekhe tu sair-e-dil karai.N ham

khilone he khilone hai.N yahai.N chezai.N he chezai.N
khilone ke dukaa.N mai.N ab bhala kya dil lagai.N ham

yahaa.N larkoo.N ke hathoo.N mai.N khilona ban gae hai.N bum
yehi behter he dar ker ab kahi.N ko bhaag jai.N ham


chalo yaroo.N kisi baligh nazar insaan ko dhondo
ke jis ke saath shamm-e-guftugo se lo lagai.N ham
