Naqd-e-jaan Ki Mere Saughaat Abhi Baaqi Hai

Naqd-e-jaan ki mere saughaat abhi baaqi hai,
Shab-e-hijraa'n ki mudaraat abhi baaqi hai..

Dhoop mein tark-e-marasim ki jhulasne waale,
Aakhiri shaam-e-mulaqaat abhi baaqi hai..

Khaaliq-e-kaun-o-makaa'n hum se nahin hai naraaz,
Gardish-e-arz-o-samawaat abhi baaqi hai..

Waqt ki dhoop mein khoye mere nashshe kitne,
Ek teri chashm-e-kharabaat abhi baaqi hai..

Roz-e-awwal se ajal khel rahi hai shatranj,
Mujh ko shah ho bhi chuki maat abhi baaqi hai..

Chaandni par hai tumhein rang-e-sahar ka dhokha, and
Gul na kar dena diye raat abhi baaqi hai..

Har ghazal ki mujhe takmeel pe mahsoos hua,
Dil mein kahne ko koi baat abhi baaqi hai.!!
