Ghazal 11
buraa kiitaa e mere haal 'te KHaamosh rahi ke tuun
Dar ke maithon os ne maarii uDaarii
Gam kii je megh haan main varh varh ke mar rihaa haan
gila kii! ‘diol!’ jagg dii nindiaa je
hazaaraan vaar jis ne dil mera barbaad kiitaa e
ih siraf merii hii nahiin usdii vii piaas hai
is jagat Dare ton kii Darnaa?
jaLaaiaa sau dafaa tuun par kadon main nashaT hoiaa haan?
nadii vii kol sii te tishnagii vii
phasal vii uggaN ton Dardii hai vichaarii
shiishe daa badan lai ke patthar de shahir aae
