Ye Alag Baat Ki Chalte Rahe Sab Se Aage

Poet

ye alag baat ki chalte rahe sab se aage

varna dekha hi nahin teri talab se aage

ye mohabbat hai ise dekh tamasha na bana

mujh se milna hai to mil hadd-e-adab se aage

ye ajab shahr hai kya qahr hai ai dil mere

sochta koi nahin ḳhvab-e-tarab se aage

ab na.e dard pas-e-ashk-e-ravan jagte hain

ham ki rote the kisi aur sabab se aage

‘shaz’ yuun hai ki koi pal bhi fusun-kar nahin

dhyan aate the mire dil men ajab se aage
