hai ghazal mein zindagi se guftugu
kahte hain urdu ki hai ye aabru

han ghazal mein aashiqi ka aks hai
mai-kade ki raushni ka aks hai

sher is ke yaad rakkhe jate hain
bachcho ye har ek ke dil ko bhate hain

'mir'-o-'ghaalib' ki ghazal mashhur hai
is mein ishq-o-falsafa ka nur hai

hai ghazal hindi mein irani mein hai
ek nasha sa is ke sheron hi mein hai

sher ghazlon ka har ek aazad hai
husn aur hikmat se jo aabaad hai

nazm par bachcho ghazal bhaari hui
is ki shohrat badh rahi hai aaj bhi

ban ke kyon bachchon ka shair hi rahun
ab ghazal 'hafiz' koi achchhi kahun
