#ghazal@ramesh 'kanwal' 063
khin aisa na ho ki zindgi saghr mein dhl jae
tumhari yad kho kar ye hws ki simt chl jae
khin na intzar-e-yar bn jaye mera qatil
khin na dida-e-mhjur se ye dm nikl jae
hmari bzm-e-hsti mein nahin koee bhi rngini
munasib hai yhi saqi ki daur-e-jam chl jae
jahan wale mujhe mera mqam-e-zindgi de den
khin rsm-e-shraft ko na beks dil kuchl jae
unhen main dhundta rhta hun aisa soch kar dil mein
ki unke milne se shayd meri qismt bdl jae
abhi tk ai chaman walo! ‘kanwal’ bhula nahin unko
nahin mumkin my-e-rngin se uska dil bhl jae
