ta-abad ek hi charcha hoga
tā-abad ek hī charchā hogā
koī ham sā koī tum sā hogā
isī tārīk zamīñ kā manzar
chāñd par chāñdnī jaisā hogā
sūraj aayā hai mirī samt magar
dūsrī samt añdherā hogā
kaash pahle se koī batlā de
kis tarah zikr hamārā hogā
aise begāna na sunñā logo
ye bhī afsāna kisī kā hogā
vo nahīñ aa.egā is mahfil meñ
duur hī duur se suntā hogā
aa.ī be-sāḳhta har sher pe daad
kitne ma.anī nahīñ samjhā hogā
kaun thā jis ne rakhī tujh se ummīd
haañ to vo shaḳhs mujhī sā hogā
kaun thā abr jo ban kar barsā
haañ to vo tujh ko tarastā hogā
kaun thā jis se huī tai manzil
haañ to pahle vo bhaTaktā hogā
kaun thā jis se ye sho.ale bhaḌke
haañ to vo ḳhuub sulagtā hogā
tum raho chup ki ġhazal-ḳhvāñ 'ālī'
na burā hogā na achchhā hogā
ta-abad ek hi charcha hoga
koi hum sa koi tum sa hoga
isi tarik zamin ka manzar
chand par chandni jaisa hoga
suraj aaya hai meri samt magar
dusri samt andhera hoga
kash pahle se koi batla de
kis tarah zikr hamara hoga
aise begana na sunna logo
ye bhi afsana kisi ka hoga
wo nahin aaega is mahfil mein
dur hi dur se sunta hoga
aai be-saKHta har sher pe dad
kitne mani nahin samjha hoga
kaun tha jis ne rakhi tujh se ummid
han to wo shaKHs mujhi sa hoga
kaun tha abr jo ban kar barsa
han to wo tujh ko tarasta hoga
kaun tha jis se hui tai manzil
han to pahle wo bhaTakta hoga
kaun tha jis se ye shoale bhaDke
han to wo KHub sulagta hoga
tum raho chup ki ghazal-KHwan 'ali'
na bura hoga na achchha hoga
