Ghazal 34
Sher 23
ātish-fishāñ zabāñ hī nahīñ thī badan bhī thā
dariyā jo munjamid hai kabhī maujzan bhī thā
aatish-fishan zaban hi nahin thi badan bhi tha
dariya jo munjamid hai kabhi maujzan bhi tha
dil yuuñ to gaah gaah sulagtā hai aaj bhī
manzar magar vo raqs-e-sharar kā nahīñ rahā
dil yun to gah gah sulagta hai aaj bhi
manzar magar wo raqs-e-sharar ka nahin raha
manzileñ samteñ badaltī jā rahī haiñ roz o shab
is bharī duniyā meñ hai insān tanhā rāh-rau
manzilen samten badalti ja rahi hain roz o shab
is bhari duniya mein hai insan tanha rah-rau
