Poem:
Khudi se bekhudi ka safr ho chala.
Mein awargi ka hamsafar ho chala
Ruk gaya pairon mein aa k darya.
Mei jab is jahan se guzr ho chala.
Mein kar aata hun yaar k ghar ada,
Mere ishq k waqt ka pehr ho chala.
Tujay kia pata kese miltay hein taray,
Rishtay mei jab tak qasr ho chala.
Usi k samnay nahi chalti yeh zuban.
Muj par jiska ik gehra asr ho chala…
Us chand k aagay nahi uthti ye nazr,
Jis ka muj pr lamba thehr ho chala.
Kisko milti hai aasani se ye dawa,
Tu yeh jaam jab tak sehr ho chala.
Kashti kab chalti hai sehra mein?
Jahan talak bhi nehr ho chala.
Udh gaya ye jo raston se bhi rang,
Yeh chala to konse Shehr ho chala?
Phul hi to diye na mohabbat mein,
Konsa koi ilahi ka qehr ho chala.
Mene kia do din nahi kia koi rabta,
Sannate mein wo ik shajr ho chala.
Khud se to ik pata na hila yahan,
Tuj per jaise jaise mehr ho chala.
Usko to us duniya ne kya rukhsat,
Jahan uska sb waqt basr ho chala.
Is Ghazal ka bhi koi to ikhtitam hoga?
Sohani, jab tak yahan behr ho chala.
— Dedicated to the beloved.
