kaam har zakhm ne marham ka kiya ho jaise
ab kisi se koi shikwa na gila ho jaise

umr-bhar ishq ko gham-dida na rakkhe kyunkar
hadisa wo ki abhi kal hi hua ho jaise

ek muddat hui dekha tha jise pahle-pahal
tere chehre mein wahi chehra chhupa ho jaise

husn ke bhed ka pa lena nahin hai aasan
hai ye wo raaz ki raazon mein pala ho jaise

dur tak ek nigah ja ke thahar jati hai
waqt ka fasla kuchh dhund raha ho jaise

yaad-e-mazi se ye afsurda si raunaq dil mein
aakhir-e-shab koi darwaza khula ho jaise

hazl ko log 'sahar' aaj ghazal kahte hain
zauq-e-sheri pe bura waqt pada ho jaise
