dil-o-nazar ko lahu mein dubona aata hai
na ab hansi hamein aae na rona aata hai

hawa ke hath charaghon se khelte hain yunhi
ki hath bachchon ke jaise khilauna aata hai

hum ahl-e-zar ke daron par qadam nahin rakhte
gada-e-khak hain mitti pe sona aata hai

khumar-e-dar-ba-dri chain se na rahne de
jo khwab aata hai aksar salona aata hai

ghazal ke sher hain mufrad magar wo shair hai
jise sab ek ladi mein pirona aata hai
