vaqt ki ungli pakḌe rahna achchha lagta hai
ham ko chalte-phirte rahna achchha lagta hai
ek samundar lakhon dariya dil men ik tufan
sham-o-sahar yuun milte rahna achchha lagta hai
kitni raten sote sote guzrin ḳhvabon men
lekin ab to jagte rahna achchha lagta hai
sach ke darvaze par dastak deta rahta huun
aag ki lapTen oḌhe rahna achchha lagta hai
phulon ke khilne ka mausam duur talak lekin
ghuncha ghuncha simTe rahna achchha lagta hai
lamha-lamha pal-pal main ne tum se baten kiin
paas tumhare baiThe rahna achchha lagta hai
suraj oḌha taare oḌhe oḌhe din aur raat
ham ko jalte-bujhte rahna achchha lagta hai
tanha.i men baiTh ke pahron tum se baten kiin
ham ko ghazlen paḌhte rahna achchha lagta hai
kitne saare chehre badle lekin ab ‘khullar’
ek saliqa oḌhe rahna achchha lagta hai
