sauda barae zindagi aasan kar diya

sauda barae zindagi aasan kar diya
jo bik nahin raha tha use dan kar diya
puri ghazal ka lutf utha hi nahin sake
matle' ne is qadar hamein hairan kar diya


mahfil mein koi husn ka misra' agar mila
itne sunae she'r ki diwan kar diya
pani pahan ke daud laga di gali gali
dariya ne khel khel mein nuqsan kar diya


hum todne gae the nasihat ki botiyan
order janab-e-shaikh ne jalpan kar diya
mushkil mein pad gae tere chakkar mein khud magar
khush hain ki rasta tera aasan kar diya


sachchaiyon ne khwab ke sab kheme dha diye
aur 'ashiqon ko be-sar-o-saman kar diya
