GHAZAL : 20^TH JUNE 2020

Gunahon ki saza ne maar dala

Usey aakhir khuda ne maar dala

Ujalon ki umeedain bujh gayeen, jab

Charaghon ko hawa ne maar dala

Muaalij ho gaye badnaam, jab bhi

Mareezon ko dawa ne maar dala

Jo goonga tha magar kehta tha sab kuch

Mujhe us khush nawa ne maar dala

Wo ghunchah phir na aaya gulista’n main

Jisey baad-e-saba ne maar dala

Kanwal wo kis tarah mehfooz rehta

Jisey ik dil-ruba ne maar dala

                        ……..
