gulon se ishq gulistan se pyar karte rahe
bhari khizan mein bhi zikr-e-bahaar karte rahe

hamari be-khudi-e-shauq ki na puchho ki hum
tere qarib tera intizar karte rahe

kisi ke dast-e-hinai ka aasra le kar
hifazat-e-gham-e-lail-o-nahaar karte rahe

zamana yun bhi kabhi apne sath chal na saka
magar zamane ka hum eatibar karte rahe

tumhaari yaad se wabasta talkhiyan hi rahin
tumhaara zikr magar bar bar karte rahe

bade saliqe se pahunche hain aaj manzil par
jo teri rahguzar ikhtiyar karte rahe

ghazal ki aad mein 'hasrat' ghazal ke saudai
khud apne dagh-e-jigar aashkar karte rahe
