abhi latafat-e-urdu zaban baqi hai

abhi latafat-e-urdu zaban baqi hai
wo bankpan wo kalam-o-bayan baqi hai
mohabbaton mein jo rahti hai fasle ki lakir
abhi wo tere mere darmiyan baqi hai


nikal ke dekh to bazar-e-zindagi mein zara
mohabbaton ki hazaron dukan baqi hai
tu dekh le to teri aankh bhi chhalak uthe
badan pe zakhm ka sara nishan baqi hai


mujhe ho khauf bhala kyon siyah raaton ka
tere khayal ka raushan jahan baqi hai
kitab-e-ishq-o-mohabbat mein aaj bhi 'jazil'
visal-o-hijr ki ek dastan baqi hai
