shehr meiN 'ishq kaa rivaaj naheeN
vaaqif-e-rasm-e-dil samaaj naheeN
ab ke, pehla sa voh mizaaj naheeN
aur lagtaa hai kuchch 'ilaaj naheeN
hai muqaddar pe iKhtiyaar kise?
is pe, yaaro, kisi ka raaj naheeN!
hum bhi sultaaN haiN shehr-e-veeraaN ke!
baat alag hai k. taKHt-o-taaj naheeN
dil to paiham hai mehv-e-yaad-e-butaaN
aur juz is ke, kaam kaaj naheeN!
har sitam us ka sehte jaate haiN
phir bhi hoNToN pe ehtijaaj naheeN
hum ko apne 'uyoob kee hai KHabar
yeh na kehnaa k. hum ko laaj naheeN
jaan detaa hai voh, vohi legaa
haqq hai us kaa, koi Khiraaj naheeN!
hum ko mil jaaye gar jahaaN meiN sukooN
phir kisi shai ki ehtiyaaj naheeN!
lutf aisi Ghazal ka kyaa, jis meiN
tapish-e-dil ka imtizaaj naheeN!
