mera har nagma ek hi aur ishara deti hai

sach hai zehar ko zehar marta hai,
roz teri yaadein marr ke
jeene ka sahara deti hai.

koi nahi puchega ki main shayar kyun hua,
mera har nagma ek hi aur ishara deti hai.

kuch aur gazalein likhne ko majbur ho jata hoon,
jab zindagi ki koi dhun saaz tumhara deti hai,

pehle bebas tha par ab aalam kuch yun hai,
ki har kashti khud sagar ko kinara deti hai.

jab kabhi zakhm-e-armaan bhar jata hai,
waqt ki hawa usse cherd dubara deti hai.
