Udas Udas Tabiat Jo Thi Bahalne Lagi

udas udas tabiat jo thi bahalne lagi

abhi main ro hi raha tha ki rut badalne lagi

paDos walo! darichon ko mat khula chhoDo

tumhaare ghar se bahut raushni nikalne lagi

zara thame the ki phir ho gae rawan aansu

jo ruk gai thi wo gham ki baraat chalne lagi

bhala ho shahr ke logon ki KHush-libasi ka

ki be-kasi bhi mera pairahan badalne lagi

Thahar gai hai kahan aa ke Dhalte Dhalte raat

meri nazar bhi charaghon ke sath jalne lagi

nazar uThi to andhera tha jab qadam uTThe

shua-e-mahr mere sath sath chalne lagi

sitam-zarifi-e-fitrat to dekhiye 'azhar'

shabab aaya ghazal par to umr Dhalne lagi
