  • Ghazal


tum apni fikr ko be-shak uDan mein rakhna


tum apnī fikr ko be-shak uḌaan meñ rakhnā
zamīn-bos imārat bhī dhyān meñ rakhnā

nigāh paḌne na paa.e yatīm bachchoñ kī
zarā chhupā ke khilaune dukān meñ rakhnā

hameñ to ahl-e-siyāsat ne ye batāyā hai
kisī kā tiir kisī kī kamān meñ rakhnā

havā.eñ tez bahut haiñ ye chāhatoñ ke diye
zarā sambhāl ke apne makān meñ rakhnā

jadīd ahd ke maqrūz haiñ mire bachche
mire ḳhudā unheñ apnī amaan meñ rakhnā

tumhārā rañg-e-suḳhan koī bhī rahe 'mahbūb'
ġhazal kā zā.iqa apnī zabān meñ rakhnā

tum apni fikr ko be-shak uDan mein rakhna
zamin-bos imarat bhi dhyan mein rakhna

nigah paDne na pae yatim bachchon ki
zara chhupa ke khilaune dukan mein rakhna

hamein to ahl-e-siyasat ne ye bataya hai
kisi ka tir kisi ki kaman mein rakhna

hawaen tez bahut hain ye chahaton ke diye
zara sambhaal ke apne makan mein rakhna

jadid ahd ke maqruz hain mere bachche
mere KHuda unhen apni aman mein rakhna

tumhaara rang-e-suKHan koi bhi rahe 'mahbub'
ghazal ka zaiqa apni zaban mein rakhna
