main to ahl hun kisi aur ka meri ahliya koi aur hai

maiñ to ahl huuñ kisī aur kā mirī ahliya koī aur hai

maiñ radīf-e-misra-e-ishq huuñ mirā qāfiya koī aur hai

jo luġhat ko toḌ-maroḌ de jo ġhazal ko nasr se joḌ de

maiñ vo bad-mazāq-e-suḳhan nahīñ vo jadīdiyā koī aur hai

mujhe apne sher ke sāriqoñ se koī gila to nahīñ magar

jo kitāb chhāp ke khā gayā vo farāḌiyā koī aur hai

maiñ tirā Cousin tū mirī Cousin kareñ raqs phir sar-e-anjuman

na tirā chachā koī aur hai na mirā chachā koī aur hai

vo suhāg-rāt jahez meñ sag-e-pāltū bhī le aa.ī thī

jo sahar huī to pata chalā yahāñ tīsrā koī aur hai

hai mirī ġhazal kā bharam abhī mire narḳhare meñ hai dam abhī

maiñ javāb-e-shā.er-e-asr huuñ mirā TeTuā koī aur hai

kisī tajrabe kī talāsh meñ mirā aqd-e-sānavī ho gayā

mirī ahliya ko ḳhabar nahīñ mirī ahliya koī aur hai

main to ahl hun kisi aur ka meri ahliya koi aur hai

main radif-e-misra-e-ishq hun mera qafiya koi aur hai

jo lughat ko toD-maroD de jo ghazal ko nasr se joD de

main wo bad-mazaq-e-suKHan nahin wo jadidiya koi aur hai

mujhe apne sher ke sariqon se koi gila to nahin magar

jo kitab chhap ke kha gaya wo faraDiya koi aur hai

main tera Cousin tu meri Cousin karen raqs phir sar-e-anjuman

na tera chacha koi aur hai na mera chacha koi aur hai

wo suhag-raat jahez mein sag-e-paltu bhi le aai thi

jo sahar hui to pata chala yahan tisra koi aur hai

hai meri ghazal ka bharam abhi mere narKHare mein hai dam abhi

main jawab-e-shaer-e-asr hun mera TeTua koi aur hai

kisi tajrabe ki talash mein mera aqd-e-sanawi ho gaya

meri ahliya ko KHabar nahin meri ahliya koi aur hai
