Ghazal Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Hum se tark e ulfat jo us ne ki
Der tak us ke chehra udaas raha

Bewafyun ki ek unkhuli kitab
Us ka her safa roodad sonata raha

Us ki ankhon mein neend ki srgoshian
Bekhawabi mein kuch khwab dekhata araha

Mon morh ke us ne chalte howaiy
Dekha tu kuch lumha wo khamosh raha

Jab khili nai komplain bahar ki
Wo apne labon ko chotha raha

Use maloom tha hoga na kuch magar
Sara khazana us ke dil mein chupa raha

Apne ko to ye umeed bhi na thee k ek din
Dabe pawon wo meri therf aata raha

Kuch nai din ki roshni mein talash kerna
Andheri raat mein aksar bhtaktaa araha
