ye meri ghazal ka mizaj hai kabhi aag hai kabhi phul hai

ye meri ghazal ka mizaj hai kabhi aag hai kabhi phul hai
kabhi qahqahon ka hai qafila kabhi aansuon se malul hai
jo de pyar tu use pyar de jo de dard us ko muaf kar
yahi zindagi ka hai qaeda yahi dosti ka usul hai


yahan sab hai tera diya hua mera jam bhi meri pyas bhi
tere hath se jo mile agar mujhe tishnagi bhi qubul hai
tu chala gaya mujhe chhod kar mujhe bhulne ki umid mein
mujhe bhul paega tu kabhi tera sochna teri bhul hai


ye tamaddunon ke charagh sa ye watan mera kisi bagh sa
jise chhu ke ruh mahak uthi mere hind wo teri dhul hai
