Ghazal 3 Gopal Krishan Shafaq

Iss shahar ka woh shakhs jo tamgho'n se saja hai
Muddat se vazeero'n ke qadam choom raha hai

Jo sookhe huye pedo'n ka ambaar laga hai
Iss daur ki sitasat ka yahi faiz hua hai

Aane ko  maseeha koi aaye bhi tau kya ho
Beemar-e-mohabbat ki dawa hai na dua hai

Kya uss ka bigaade gi bhala gardish-e-dauraa'n
Jo gardish-e-aflaak se sau baar lada hai

Khud apni museebat mein bhi rota hai akela
Woh shakhs jo auro'n ki museebat par hansa hai

Taameer kiye jis ne mahal auro'n ki khatir
Toote huye chappar mein woh sardi se mara hai

Jamhoor jise kehte hai'n yeh all-e-siyasat
Changez-parasti hi ka ek naam naya hai

Woh noor Shafaq jis talashi ho azal se
Woh noor abhi shab ke libaade mein chupa hai
