wahi dilon ko shikast karna wahi sawal-o-jawab karna
kahan se sikha hai tu ne naseh qadam qadam ehtisab karna

wo apne moti baras baras kar na is tarah raegan karegi
kabhi na us chashm-e-nilgun se umid misl-e-sahab karna

jahan bhi mil jae dekh lena wahi hai jaan-e-wafa ki surat
wahi nigahen jhukae rakhna haya se chehra gulab karna

bahaar-e-khun-e-jigar pila kar jinhonne tujh ko shabab bakhsha
ye kya ghazab hai ki fasl-e-gul mein unhin ko khana-kharab karna

ye farz saunpa hai baghbanon ko raat sayyaad ne chaman ke
ki loriyan de ke kal anadil ko aur bhi mahw-e-khwab karna

kabhi ye socha bhi mere yaro ki is mein aakhir hai faeda kya
jo chand lamhe hain zindagi ke unhin ko nazr-e-azab karna

kisi tarah bhi na aane pae koi jhalak shairi mein 'azhar'
har ek ghazal khwah apne dil mein usi ke nam intisab karna
