Wahi Hua Ki KHud Bhi Jis Ka KHauf Tha Mujhe

wahi hua ki KHud bhi jis ka KHauf tha mujhe

charagh ko jala ke bas dhuan mila mujhe

kabhi miTa saka na koi dusra mujhe

shikast de gai magar meri ana mujhe

jawab is sawal ka bhi de zara mujhe

uDa ke lai hai yahan pe kyun hawa mujhe

hari-bhari si shaKH par khila hua gulab

na jaane ek KHar kyun chubha gaya mujhe

us ajnabi se wasta zarur tha koi

wo jab kabhi mila to bas mera laga mujhe

abhi na mujh ko Tokiye abhi to zindagi

suna rahi hai git roz ek naya mujhe

ye muddaton ke baad jo kahi ghazal 'hilal'

wo kaun hai jo aaj yaad aa gaya mujhe
