Peshaniyon pe likhe muqaddar nahi mile
dastar kahan milenge jahan sar nahi mile
aavaragi ko dubate suraj se rabt hai
magrib ke bad hum bhi to ghar par nahi mile
kal aainon ka jashn hua tha tamam raat
andhe tamashbinon ko pathar nahi mile
main chahata tha khud se mulaqat ho magar
aaine mere qad ke barabar nahi mile
pardes ja rahe ho to sab dekhte chalo
mumkin hai vapas aao to ye ghar nahi mile

Poet of the Poem / Ghazal or Nazam : Rahat Indori

ajib tajurba tha bhid se guzarane ka
use bahana mila mujh se bat karane ka

phir ek mauj use khinch le gai tah-e-ab
tamasha khatm hua dubane ubharane ka

mujhe khabar hai ki rasta mazar chahata hai
main khastapa sahi lekin nahi thaharane ka

thama ke ek bikharata gulab mere hath
tamasha dekh raha hai wo mere darane ka

ye aasman mein siyahi bikher di kis ne
hamen tha shauq bahut is mein rang bharane ka

bas ek chikh giri thi pahad se yakalakht
ajab nazar tha phir dhundh ke bikharane ka
