dil ki dhaDkan ulajh rahi hai ye kaisi saughat ghazal ki

dil kī dhaḌkan ulajh rahī hai ye kaisī sauġhāt ġhazal kī

tār-e-nafas par uñglī rakh dī chheḌ ke tum ne baat ġhazal kī

us kā chehra us kī āñkheñ ek qayāmat haa.e mohabbat

tasvīreñ ḳhud batlātī haiñ saarī tafsīlāt ġhazal kī

vahī kahānī dohrā.eñge vahī nishānī phir DhūñDeñge

aadam aur havvā se juḌī hai asl meñ talmīhāt ġhazal kī

saf.ha-e-dil par misra-e-tar kī shakl meñ aañsū girte haiñ

dard ke bādal chhāte haiñ to hotī hai barsāt ġhazal kī

havā hue vo din ki ġhazal kartī thī bas mahbūb se baat

vaqt kā manzar-nāma badlā badlī tarjīhāt ġhazal kī

chūlhe-chauke se be-zārī fikr-e-suḳhan a.asāb pe taarī

jāgte sote raah nihārūñ 'raḳhshāñ' maiñ ban raat ġhazal kī

dil ki dhaDkan ulajh rahi hai ye kaisi saughat ghazal ki

tar-e-nafas par ungli rakh di chheD ke tum ne baat ghazal ki

us ka chehra us ki aankhen ek qayamat hae mohabbat

taswiren KHud batlati hain sari tafsilat ghazal ki

wahi kahani dohraenge wahi nishani phir DhunDenge

aadam aur hawwa se juDi hai asl mein talmihat ghazal ki

safha-e-dil par misra-e-tar ki shakl mein aansu girte hain

dard ke baadal chhate hain to hoti hai barsat ghazal ki

hawa hue wo din ki ghazal karti thi bas mahbub se baat

waqt ka manzar-nama badla badli tarjihat ghazal ki

chulhe-chauke se be-zari fikr-e-suKHan aasab pe tari

jagte sote rah nihaarun 'raKHshan' main ban raat ghazal ki
