baat bigdi hui bani hai abhi
ek naya rabt-e-bahami hai abhi

mujh ko aisa guman hota hai
na-mukammal si zindagi hai abhi

bawajude hazar nakaami
zindagi mein hamahami hai abhi

ek bijli si hai jo rah rah kar
gosha-e-dil mein kaundti hai abhi

shauq se aao qafile walo
rah-e-manzil bula rahi hai abhi

yun to tum bhi udas udas se ho
aankh meri bhi shabnami hai abhi

zindagi ki talash mein hun main
zindagi mujh ko dhundhti hai abhi

nazriya ek sa nahin rahta
aql aur dil mein dushmani hai abhi

khak dala kiye adu har dam
phir bhi urdu mein shustagi hai abhi

tum ghazal ko nikhaar lo 'gauhar'
chand taron mein raushni hai abhi
