dohra raha hun baat purani kahi hui
dohrā rahā huuñ baat purānī kahī huī
tasvīr tere ghar meñ thī merī lagī huī
in bad-nasīb āñkhoñ ne dekhī hai baar baar
dīvār meñ ġharīb kī ḳhvāhish chunī huī
taaza ġhazal zarūrī hai mahfil ke vāste
suntā nahīñ hai koī dobāra sunī huī
muddat se koī dūsrā rahtā hai ham nahīñ
darvāze par hamārī hai taḳhtī lagī huī
jab tak hai Dor haath meñ tab tak kā khel hai
dekhī to hoñgī tum ne patañgeñ kaTī huī
jis kī judā.ī ne mujhe shā.ir banā diyā
paḌhtā huuñ maiñ ġhazal bhī usī kī likhī huī
lagtā hai jaise ghar meñ nahīñ huuñ maiñ qaid huuñ
miltī haiñ roTiyāñ bhī jahāñ par ginī huī
sāñsoñ ke aane jaane pe chaltā hai kārobār
chhūtā nahīñ hai koī bhī hāñDī jalī huī
ye zaḳhm kā nishān hai jā.egā der se
chhuTtī nahīñ hai jaldī se mehñdī lagī huī
dohra raha hun baat purani kahi hui
taswir tere ghar mein thi meri lagi hui
in bad-nasib aankhon ne dekhi hai bar bar
diwar mein gharib ki KHwahish chuni hui
taza ghazal zaruri hai mahfil ke waste
sunta nahin hai koi dobara suni hui
muddat se koi dusra rahta hai hum nahin
darwaze par hamari hai taKHti lagi hui
jab tak hai Dor hath mein tab tak ka khel hai
dekhi to hongi tum ne patangen kaTi hui
jis ki judai ne mujhe shair bana diya
paDhta hun main ghazal bhi usi ki likhi hui
lagta hai jaise ghar mein nahin hun main qaid hun
milti hain roTiyan bhi jahan par gini hui
sanson ke aane jaane pe chalta hai karobar
chhuta nahin hai koi bhi hanDi jali hui
ye zaKHm ka nishan hai jaega der se
chhuTti nahin hai jaldi se mehndi lagi hui
