aariz ki tab saya-e-gesu ghazal mein hai
yani ki dhup chhanw ka jadu ghazal mein hai

bazm-e-sukhan na puchh moattar hai kis liye
gulha-e-ranga-rang ki khushbu ghazal mein hai

sakta qubul qafiya paimai ko nahin
be-wazn hona mat ki taraazu ghazal mein hai

karta hun tere zikr se arz apni baat main
kab koi imtiyaz-e-man-o-tu ghazal mein hai

har ek ghazal hai mir taqi 'mir' aadatan
ho ya na ho hansi magar aansu ghazal mein hai

kahiye tamam shaeri ki aabru use
tarz-e-bayan kuchh aur hi urdu ghazal mein hai

aurat se guftugu ko nahin tul dijiye
ijaz-o-ikhtisar ka pahlu ghazal mein hai
