Chaaron Taraf Hain Khaar-O-KHas Dasht Mein Ghar Hai Bagh Sa

Poet

charon taraf hain ḳhar-o-ḳhas dasht men ghar hai baagh sa

choTi pe kohsar ki jalta hai kya charagh sa

ab-e-ravan ki guunj se shorish-e-ḳhak-o-bad tak

main hi huun naqsh-e-javedan main hi adam-suragh sa

sub.h bhi resha resha hai shaam bhi hai rafu-talab

sina-e-mahtab bhi varna hai dil-e-dagh sa

bahs hui na tabsira shor uTha na chup lagi

dil ki bisat thi hi kya TuuT gaya ayagh sa

sher kaho to chup rahe kuchh na kaho to chaunk uThe

shahr men ek ‘zubair’ hai sha.ir-e-kam-dimagh sa
