hasb-e-wada mujh se milne wo kabhi aaya nahin
is se badh kar aur kuchh bhi hausla-farsa nahin

hijr tha is ka bahut sabr-azma mere liye
gham se patthar ho gaya lekin kabhi roya nahin

dawat-e-nazzara de kar aisa wo ghaeb hua
meri aankhon ne dobara phir use dekha nahin

katne ko daudte hain mujh ko ye diwar-o-dar
jaise main tanha hun waise koi bhi tanha nahin

murtaish rahta hai ab har dam mera tar-e-wajud
kya guzarti hai mere dil par kabhi kahta nahin

kar raha hun apni ye tarhi ghazal nazr-e-'munir'
aisa shair aaj tak main ne kabhi dekha nahin

kar ke is ke wada-e-farda pe 'barqi' e'tibar
main kai din tak musalsal raat-bhar soya nahin
