dil mein mahbub ka ghar ho to ghazal hoti hai
koi masjud-e-nazar ho to ghazal hoti hai

naghma hota hai jawan rang-e-shikast-e-dil se
aankh jab khun se tar ho to ghazal hoti hai

soz fariyaad mein aae to kahan se aae
tapish-e-soz-e-jigar ho to ghazal hoti hai

zikr-e-mahbub hai paband-e-taqaddus kitna
ba-wazu aankh agar ho to ghazal hoti hai

tirgi ho to sitaron pe nikhaar aata hai
sham mahrum-e-sahar ho to ghazal hoti hai

nigah-e-shauq mein kaunain simat aate hain
donon aalam ki khabar ho to ghazal hoti hai

ras aati nahin is phul ko gulshan ki hawa
zindagi khak-basar ho to ghazal hoti hai

husn rangini-e-ashaar ka sar-chashma hai
husn ka dil pe asar ho to ghazal hoti hai

dil ki duniya jise kahte hain wo duniya hi 'tufail'
dost ki rahguzar ho to ghazal hoti hai
