Ghazals

Ab ke tajdid-e-vafa ka nahi imkan janan

yaad kya tujh ko dilayen tera paiman janan

yun hi mausam ke ada dekh ke yaad aaya hai

kis qadar jald badal jate hain insan janan

zindagi teri ata thi so tere naam ke hai

hum ne jaise bhi basar ke tera ehasan janan

dil ye kehta hai ki shayad ho fasurda tu bhi

dil ke kya bat karen dil to hai nadan janan

avval-avval ke muhabbat ke nashe yaad to kar

bepiye bhi tera chehara tha gulistan janan

aakhir aakhir to ye aalam hai ki ab hosh nahi

rag-e-mina sulag uthi ki rag-e-jan janan

muddaton se ye aalam na tavaqqo na umeed

dil pukare hi chala jata hai janan janan

hum bhi kya sada the hum ne bhi samajh rakha tha

gam-e-dauran se juda hai gam-e-janan janan

ab ke kuch aisi saji mahafil-e-yaran janan

sar-ba-zanu hai koi sar-ba-gireban janan

har koi apni hi aavaz se kanp uthta hai

har koi apne hi saye se hirasan janan

jis ko dekho wohi zanjir-ba-pa lagata hai

shahar ka shahar hua dakhil-e-zindan janan

ab tera zikr bhi shayad hi gazal mein aaye

aur se aur hua dard ka unvan janan

hum ki ruthi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the

hum ne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijran janan

hosh aaya to sabhi khwab the reza-reza

jaise udate huye auraq-e-pareshan janan.
