Abdul Ahad Saaz
soch kar bhi kya jaana jaan kar bhi kya paaya
jab bhi aina dekha khud ko dusra paaya
hont par diya rakhna dil-jalon ki shokhi hai
varna is andhere men kaun muskura paaya
bol the divanon ke jin se hosh valon ne
soch ke dhundlakon men apna rasta paaya
ehtimam dastak ka apni vaza thi varna
ham ne dar rasai ka bar-ha khula paaya
falsafon ke dhagon se khinch kar sira dil ka
vahm se haqiqat tak ham ne silsila paaya
umr ya zamane ka khel hai bahane ka
sab ne majra dekha kis ne muddaa paaya
shaeri talab apni shaeri ata us ki
hausle se kam manga zarf se siva paaya
‘saz’ jab khula ham par sher koi ‘ghalib’ ka
ham ne goya batin ka ik suragh sa paaya
