aaj bhi jis ki hai ummid wo kal aae hue

aaj bhī jis kī hai ummīd vo kal aa.e hue

in daraḳhtoñ pe zamāna huā phal aa.e hue

koī chehrā hai jo lagtā na ho murjhāyā huā

koī peshānī hai jis par na huuñ bal aa.e hue

ik nazar dekh le shāyad tujhe yaad aa jaa.eñ

ham vahī haiñ tirī mahfil se nikal aa.e hue

jaise har chiiz nigāhoñ meñ Thaharnā chāhe

dekh lenā kabhī mausam pe ġhazal aa.e hue

kyā gulāboñ kī vo albelī ruteñ ruuTh ga.iiñ

in dinoñ hadd-e-nazar tak haiñ kañval aa.e hue

lafz mafhūm se begāna haiñ muddat guzrī

apne hisse meñ ġhazal jaisī ġhazal aa.e hue

haa.e vo log jo har vaqt nazar aate the

ḳhaak uḌaa.e hue chehre pe bhī mal aa.e hue

aaj bhi jis ki hai ummid wo kal aae hue

in daraKHton pe zamana hua phal aae hue

koi chehra hai jo lagta na ho murjhaya hua

koi peshani hai jis par na hun bal aae hue

ek nazar dekh le shayad tujhe yaad aa jaen

hum wahi hain teri mahfil se nikal aae hue

jaise har chiz nigahon mein Thaharna chahe

dekh lena kabhi mausam pe ghazal aae hue

kya gulabon ki wo albeli ruten ruTh gain

in dinon hadd-e-nazar tak hain kanwal aae hue

lafz mafhum se begana hain muddat guzri

apne hisse mein ghazal jaisi ghazal aae hue

hae wo log jo har waqt nazar aate the

KHak uDae hue chehre pe bhi mal aae hue
