Ghazal

 

Shore-e-Maatam tha kahin, Saath kisi ka Choota

Kaisii Dildoz Balaa Thii, Kitna Nasheman Toota

Shayad, Iblees Hai Aaya  Sar-e-Aflaak-e-Bariin ?

Maine Dekahaa tha Kahin Ek  Sitaara  Toota

Shams Nikla hai Falak par usi Pindaar Ke Saath

Teergii Chhatne Lagi,  Raat ka Gheraa  Toota

Baat kehne ka Saleeqa to Bahut tha Mujh mein

Jaane kya Baat Hui  Har Bazm se Rishta Toota

Teri Mehfil mein bhi Sach Bol Reha hoon Tumse

Dekh Bikhraa Hai Yehin  Mera Saaghar  Toota

Dekh Haseen Khvaab mere, Dekh mera Azm-e-Safar

Raah ki Thokar se Kahan Sang-e-Iraada Tootaa ?

Ai Khuda,Tere Mehboob Nabi ka Thaa Ishaara  Kaafi 

Hukm ki Tazeem Mein Mahtab Humak Kar Toota 

Phir Chale Log Ibaadat ke Liye Sue Darbaar-e-Haram  

Aankh Chalki thi kisi ki, kahin  Zabt ka Bandhan Toota.

Aag Jisne bhi  lagaii thiii, Tausif  Bhalaa ho  Usakaa  

Khul Gayee Aankh Meri,  Ikhlaas ka Jadoo Toota
