 GHAZAL : 17^TH JULY 2020

                      

Wafa daro  ! wafa ko yaa rakhna

 Tum apni is ada ko yad rakhna

Raison ke gharon ke shor-o-ghul main

Faqiron ki sada ko yad rakhna

Gunahon ki taraf jhuknay se pehlay

Gunahon ki saza ko yad rakhna

Mazay se ghoomna jungle main lekin

Gulistan ki faza ko yad rakhna

Zamanay ki tarah mat bhool jana

Khuda ko na-khuda ko yad rakhna

Agar jao kabhi sehra ki janib

Kanwal bad-e-saba ko yad rakhna
