Ahwal Pochhiye Mera Aazar Jaaniye

ahwal pochhiye mera aazar jaaniye

zanjir dekh kar na giraftar jaaniye

afsos ja chuka hai ghaDi dekhne ka waqt

ab dhup se hi waqt ki raftar jaaniye

hansiye janab der tak ab apne aap par

kis ne kaha tha KHud ko samajhdar jaaniye

kuchh der baiTh jaiye diwar ke qarib

kya kah raha hai saya-e-diwar jaaniye

aasan nahin hai jaanna is shahr ka mizaj

sau bar dekhiye use sau bar jaaniye

kya rabt-e-KHas aap ko kar-e-jahan se hai

achchha to aap bhi mujhe bekar jaaniye

'kashif'-husain KHub hi hote hain ahl-e-ishq

is par bhi khaDe hon to us par jaaniye
