dil ka har zakhm jawan ho to ghazal hoti hai
dard nas nas mein rawan ho to ghazal hoti hai

dil mein ho shauq-e-mulaqat ka tufan bapa
aur raste mein chunan ho to ghazal hoti hai

shauq hasrat ke shararon se jila pata hai
jaan-e-jaan dushman-e-jaan ho to ghazal hoti hai

kuchh bhi hasil nahin yak-tarfa mohabbat ka janab
un ki jaanib se bhi han ho to ghazal hoti hai

shaukat-e-fan ki qasam husn-e-takhyyul ki qasam
dil ke kabe mein azan ho to ghazal hoti hai

main agar un ke khad-o-khal mein kho jaun kabhi
wo kahen naz kahan ho to ghazal hoti hai
