§¤ GHAZAL ¤§

labon pe phool khiltay hain kisi k naam se pahle,
Diloan k deep jalte hain charagh-e Shaam se pahle.

kabhi manzar badalne par bhi qissa chal nahin pata,
kahani khatam hoti hai kabhi anjaam se pahle.

yahi taare tumhaari ankh ki chilman mein rehte the,
yahi sooraj nikalta tha tumhare baam se pahle.

hui hai Shaam jungle main parinde lot-te honge,
ab in ko kis tarah rokain nawaah-e-daam se pahle.

ya saare rang murdaa the tumhaari shakl banne tak,
ya saare harf bekaar the tumhaare naam se pahle.

huwa hai wo agar munsif to AGHA Ehteyatan ham,
saza tasleem karte hain kisi ilzam se pahle.
