Naqab Chehre Se Mere haTa Rahi Hai Ghazal

Obaidur Rahman

naqab chehre se mere haTa rahi hai ghazal

hisar-e-zat se bahar bula rahi hai ghazal

ye kaun hai jo bahut be-qarar hai mujh men

ye kis ke qurb men yuun kasmasa rahi hai ghazal

vo ḳhol jis men muqayyad huun TuTne ko hai

mujhe bahar ka muzhda suna rahi hai ghazal

vajud ka hua jaata hai falsafa paani

rumuz-e-zat se parde uTha rahi hai ghazal

jo mo’tariz the hue vo bhi mo’tarif us ke

har ek daur men jadu-numa rahi hai ghazal

saha hai ḳhud pe har ik tiir tanz ka hans kar

piya hai zahr magar muskura rahi hai ghazal

hai qadr-dan ko apne ye vaj.h-e-sarshari

ye hasidon ke dilon ko jala rahi hai ghazal

ki sirf gul hi nahin ḳhaar se bhi nisbat hai

ye aur baat ki bad-e-saba rahi hai ghazal

kare hai us pe riyazat ki us ka husn khule

‘obaid’ ke liye misl-e-hina rahi hai ghazal

tha ek shaghl mira meri ye ghazal-goi

‘obaid’ zaat ko ab apni bha rahi hai ghazal
