Shabnam ke aansoo phool par ye toh wahi qissa hua,
aankhen meri bheegi hui chehra tera utra hua.
Ab in dinon meri ghazal khushboo ki ek tasveer hai,
har lafz ghunche ki tarah khil kar tera chehra hua.
Shayad usey bhi le gaye achchhe dinon ke qaafile,
is bagh mein ek phool tha teri tarah hansta hua.
Har cheez hai bazaar mein is haath de us haath le,
izzat gayi, shohrat gayi, rushwa hue, charcha hua.
Mandir gaye, masjid gaye, peeron faqeeron se mile,
ek us ko paane ke liye kya kya kiya, kya kya hua.
Anmol moti pyar ke duniya chura kar le gayi,
dil ki haveli mein koi darwaza tha toota hua.
Barsaat mein deewar-o-dar ki saari tahreeren mitin,
dhoya bahut mita nahin taqdeer ka likha hua. !!
