तकाज़ा है बहुत

Dil ka afsaana hai aur umar ka tajurba hai bahut
Ek ghazal uspar likhu dil ka takaza hai bahut
Sham-o-shehar ho gafalato ki ghata chaai hai
Usko dekha hai kam aur socha hai bahut
Mere hatho ki inn lakiro ke izaafe hai gavah
Khud ko maine pathar ki tarah tarasha hai bahut
Waqt zalim tha aur uski zulam ki aadat bhi
Majboor hum the aur usse muhabbat bhi hai bahut
Sitam hum waqt-e-zamane ke sahte rahe
‘Sara’-e-tabiyat me chhupa rakha tha bagawat bahut
Vakeef tha wo bhi meri pak-e-muhabbat se
Khuda ke baad usne bhi ki meri inayaat bahut
Yu hi nahi mashahur zamane me hum huye
Kabhi isi fan me thi hashil hame maharat bahut
Kabhi tere ishaq ne bana diya tha nikamma mujhe
Ab hai sath tera aur Khushiyo ka daur kabhi gamo ka sumaar tha bahut
