Gali Mein Dard Ke Purze Talash Karti Thi

Ghazal
Gali Mein Dard Ke Purze Talash Karti Thi

Mere khutut ke tukde talash karti thi

Kahan gai wo kunwari udas bi-apa

Jo ganw ganw mein rishte talash karti thi

Bhulae kaun aziyyat-pasandiyan us ki

Khushi ke dher mein sadme talash karti thi

Ajib hijr-parasti thi us ki fitrat mein

Shajar ke tutte patte talash karti thi

Qayam karti thi wo mujh mein sufiyon ki tarah

Udas ruh ke goshe talash karti thi

Tamam raat ko parde hata ke chand ke sath

Jo kho gae the wo lamhe talash karti thi

Kuchh is liye bhi mere ghar se us ko thi wahshat

Yahan bhi apne hi pyare talash karti thi

Ghuma-phira ke judai ki baat karti thi

Hamesha hijr ke harbe talash karti thi

Tamam raat wo zakhma ke apne poron ko

Mere wajud ke reze talash karti thi

Duaen karti thi ujde hue mazaron par

Bade ajib sahaare talash karti thi

Mujhe to aaj bataya hai baadalon ne ‘wasi‘

Wo laut aane ke raste talash karti thi
