is tarah se kashti bhi koi par lage hai

is tarah se kashtī bhī koī paar lage hai

kāġhaz kā banā haath meñ patvār lage hai

āzād lage hai na giraftār lage hai

dīvāne ko dar āhanī dīvār lage hai

ik laash hai lekin baḌī jāñ-dār lage hai

shola sī koī chiiz sar-e-dār lage hai

pahchān lo us ko vahī qātil hai hamārā

jis haath meñ TuuTī huī talvār lage hai

ḳhāmosh girāñ-bār fazāoñ meñ ghuTan sī

ye to kisī tūfān kī lalkār lage hai

ik vaqt vo thā jab rasan-o-dār meñ thā lutf

ab lutf bhī un kā rasan-o-dār lage hai

din chaḌhne lagā tezī se ghaTne lage saa.e

raahī koī ham ko pas-e-dīvār lage hai

ik dā.era-e-fikr meñ mahdūd hai aalam

har pā-e-nazar sūrat-e-parkār lage hai

sunñe meñ to ġhazleñ bahut achchhī lagīñ 'vāmiq'

qirtās pe ik aisī jo shahkār lage hai

is tarah se kashti bhi koi par lage hai

kaghaz ka bana hath mein patwar lage hai

aazad lage hai na giraftar lage hai

diwane ko dar aahani diwar lage hai

ek lash hai lekin baDi jaan-dar lage hai

shola si koi chiz sar-e-dar lage hai

pahchan lo us ko wahi qatil hai hamara

jis hath mein TuTi hui talwar lage hai

KHamosh giran-bar fazaon mein ghuTan si

ye to kisi tufan ki lalkar lage hai

ek waqt wo tha jab rasan-o-dar mein tha lutf

ab lutf bhi un ka rasan-o-dar lage hai

din chaDhne laga tezi se ghaTne lage sae

rahi koi hum ko pas-e-diwar lage hai

ek daera-e-fikr mein mahdud hai aalam

har pa-e-nazar surat-e-parkar lage hai

sunne mein to ghazlen bahut achchhi lagin 'wamiq'

qirtas pe ek aisi jo shahkar lage hai
