Sae Mein Aablon Ki Jalan Aur baDh Gai

Ejaz Rahmani

saa.e men ablon ki jalan aur baḌh ga.i

thak kar jo baiThe ham to thakan aur baḌh ga.i

kal is qadar tha habs hamare makan men

sanki hava zara to ghuTan aur baḌh ga.i

kanTon ki guftugu se ḳhalish dil men kam na thi

phulon ke tazkire se chubhan aur baḌh ga.i

ye baghban hamare lahu ka kamal hai

nairangi-e-bahar-e-chaman aur baḌh ga.i

ye hijr ki hai aag mizaj us ka aur hai

ashkon se sho.alagi-e-badan aur baḌh ga.i

sairab kar saka na use mera ḳhuun bhi

kuchh tishnagi-e-dar-o-rasan aur baḌh ga.i

harf-e-sipas pesh kiya jab bhi vo mila

lekin jabin pe us ki shikan aur baḌh ga.i

tahrir ki jo ek ghazal us ke naam par

‘ejaz’ abru-e-suḳhan aur baḌh ga.i
