Dil Asir-E-Gham-E-Dauran Hai Ghazal Kya Kahiye

Poet

dil asir-e-gham-e-dauran hai ghazal kya kahiye

zindagi sar-ba-gareban hai ghazal kya kahiye

ab to har naqsh numayan hai ghazal kya kahiye

dil charagh-e-tah-e-daman hai ghazal kya kahiye

chehra-e-sho.ala-o-shabnam pe barasta hai dhuan

barq ki zad men gulistan hai ghazal kya kahiye

zulf-e-shab-rang ka afsana ḳhush-a.ind sahi

ru-ba-ru sham-e-ghariban hai ghazal kya kahiye

zauq par chha.i hain munh bolti zinda ghazlen

ham hain aur majma.a-e-ḳhuban hai ghazal kya kahiye

hal-e-dil ghair nazar ḳhira paraganda dimagh

hashr ka din shab-e-hijran hai ghazal kya kahiye

fursat-e-tazkira-e-kakul-o-ruḳhsar kahan

jauhari daur men insan hai ghazal kya kahiye

bu-e-gul nala-e-dil dud-e-charagh-e-mahfil

bazm ki bazm pareshan hai ghazal kya kahiye

faiz se jis ke chaman-zar-e-suḳhan tha sairab

ḳhushk vo chah-e-zanaḳhdan hai ghazal kya kahiye

man ki duniya pe to chha.e hain andhere har su

tan ki duniya men charaghan hai ghazal kya kahiye

bazm-e-afkar ko rakhti thi jo raushan ai dost

lau usi sham.a ki larzan hai ghazal kya kahiye

asman sar pe uTha.e hai zamin ki shorish

ek hangama-e-tufan hai ghazal kya kahiye

ḳhun-e-mazlum se aluda hai chappa chappa

har taraf ganj-e-shahidan hai ghazal kya kahiye

phuul murjha.e hue nabz-e-chaman afsurda

ruḳhsat-e-fasl-e-baharan hai ghazal kya kahiye

har taraf amn ke na.aron se faza hai mamur

har taraf jang ka saman hai ghazal kya kahiye

ghair to ghair hain is daur-e-siyah-baḳhti men

apna saaya bhi gurezan hai ghazal kya kahiye

ab to siine men baja.e dil-e-sozan ‘faruq’

ek sho.ala sa farozan hai ghazal kya kahiye
