GHAZAL

rasta hayate-shauq ka dushwaar to nahiN
ye inqelab-e-waqt ke aasaar to nahin

ye imtehaan waqt ke ye aazmayisheiN
main daur ka koi autaar to nahiN

insane hain k sang-tarashoN ke shahkaar
ahsas in me koi bhi bedaar to nahiN

kiyon ruk rahey hain shauq ke ruktey hue qadam
raste m koi dard ki deevaar to to nahin

ashhar jisey uchaal chuke log mulk meiN
changeze-e-ahde-nau ki wo dastaar to nahiN
