Har Ek Baat Teri Be-sabaat Kitni Hai

har ek baat teri be-sabaat kitni hai

palaTna baat ko dam bhar mein baat kitni hai

abhi to sham hui hai abhi to aae ho

abhi se puchh rahe ho ki raat kitni hai

wo sunte sunte jo ghabrae haal-e-dil bole

bayan kitni hui wardat kitni hai

tere shahid ko dulha bana hua dekha

rawan janaze ke pichhe baraat kitni hai

kisi tarah nahin kaTti nahin guzar chukti

ilahi saKHt ye qaid-e-hayat kitni hai

hamari jaan hai qimat to dil hai baiana

giran-baha lab-e-nazuk ki baat kitni hai

jo shab ko khilte hain ghunche wo din ko jhaDte hain

bahaar-e-bagh-e-jahan be-sabaat kitni hai

mahinon ho gae dekhi nahin hai subh-e-ummid

kise KHabar ye musibat ki raat kitni hai

udu ke samne ye dekhna hai hum ko bhi

kidhar ko hai nigah-e-iltifat kitni hai

ghazal likhen bhi to kya KHak hum likhen 'beKHud'

zamin dekhiye ye wahiyat kitni hai
