Silsilay Tor Gaya Woh Sabhi Jatay Jatay
Warna Itne To Marasim The Ke Aate Jate
Shikwa e Zulmat e Shab Sey Tou Behter Tha
Apney Hissay Ki Koi Shamma Jalatay Jatay
Kitna Asaan Tha Teray Hijr Mein Marna Janaa
Phir Bhee Ik Umr Lagi Jaan Se Jatay Jatay
Jashn e Maqtal Hi Na Barpa Hua Warna Hum
Pa’ Bajoulaan Hi Sahi, Nachte Gaate Jatay
Us Ki Woh Jane Usey Pass e Wafa Tha Keh Na Tha
Tum Apni Taraf Se To Faraz Nibhate Jate
Ahmed Faraz
Ghazal in Urdu Fonts
سلسلے توڑ گیا وہ سبھی جاتے جاتے
ورنہ اتنے تو مراسم تھے کہ آتے جاتے
شکوہ ِ ظلمتِ شب سے تو بہتر تھا
اپنے حصے کی کوئی شمع جلاتے جاتے
کتنا آساں تھا تیرے ہجر میں مرنا جاناں
پھر بھی اِک عمر لگی جاں سے جاتے جاتے
جشنِ مقتل ہی نہ برپا ہوا ورنہ ہم
پا بجولاں ہی سہی ، ناچتے گاتے جاتے
اس کی وہ جانے اسے پاسِ وفا تھا کہ نہ تھا
تم اپنی طرف سے تو فراز نبھاتے جاتے۔۔۔
