Kahin Sar PaTakte Diwane Kahin Par Jhulaste Parwane

kahin sar paTakte diwane kahin par jhulaste parwane

jo ho be-shuur kya jaane ye hain zindagi ke afsane

ye nai nai har ek surat ye tilismi aaina-KHane

hai ghazab ki shoala-samani ki bhaTak rahe hain parwane

sabhi apne aur begane chale aa rahe hain samjhane

mujhe kya hua KHuda jaane main siDi hun ya ye diwane

koi aa raha hai samjhane magar is tarah ki be-jaane

hain usi ke gham mein diwane abhi sun le to bura mane

lalak ek si na ai koyal na tera sa dil hai mera dil

teri kuk ko main kya samjhun meri huk ko tu kya jaane

teri be-ruKHi ne ai saqi hawas-e-talab baDha di hai

hua chur ek paimana to bane hazar paimane

hai idhar KHumar aaankhon mein udhar intizar aaankhon mein

abhi daur-e-mai-kashi hai dur abhi ban rahe hain maiKHane

hua bhole-pan pe jo bismil wo to apna aap hai qatil

ye samajh ka pher hai ai dil sitam-o-jafa wo kya jaane

nai karwaTen zamane ki hain baDi hi inqalabaati

kahin bastiyon mein virani kahin bas rahe hain virane

ye ubharti miTti tahriren ye bigaDti banti taswiren

kisi husn ki hain tanwiren koi dekhe ho to pahchane

tu hai jaan-e-husn ye sun ke to pasina chhuTa mathe se

mera nam 'arzu' sun le to wo aur bhi bura mane
