hain kaise kaise marahil guhar se aage bhi
ghazal kuchh aur hai kar-e-hunar se aage bhi

ye shoabde ka tajassus na khatm hoga kabhi
jahan hoga jahan-e-digar se aage bhi

bhare julus mein goli se mara jaunga
main sochta hun khuda-e-bashar se aage bhi

ye ird-gard ke manzar mere shanasa hain
guzar hua hai isi rahguzar se aage bhi

wara-e-chashm manazir ki khoj jari rakh
nazar badha zara hadd-e-nazar se aage bhi

ek aur jism hai meri nazar mein tujh sa hi
ek aur rang hai rang-e-sahar se aage bhi

aziyyaten hain moharram ke baad bhi kitni
safar mazid hain mah-e-safar se aage bhi

parai aankh ki putli sahaara kya deti
wahan ek aur bhanwar tha bhanwar se aage bhi

khule hain raaz kai mere qatl ke mujh par
padhi hai main ne kahani khabar se aage bhi
