kisi bhi zahar se mujh ko nahin koi parhez
magar hai shart bas itni ki ho na shahd-amez

wo dar gaya jo nazar aai fakhta us ko
wo jis ke hath hamesha se hi rahe khun-rez

main khud samajh na saka aaj tak ye apna tilism
ki mujh mein hai kabhi farhad aur kabhi parwez

nami pasinon ki milti rahi hai us ko aur
azal se baqi hai ab tak jo khak hai zarkhez

ye tishnagi thi meri jis ne sar-nigun na kiya
the be-shumar wahan jam aur sab labrez

ki ek roz mein kah li hai main ne ek ghazal
us ek shakhs ki qurbat hai kya ghazal-angez
