#ghazal@ramesh 'kanwal'180
duzdida nigahi se nahin koee shikayt
halt ki rahon mein lute ahl-e-muhbbt
ai dekhne walo ! ye meri sadgi dekho
qatil se bhi rkhta hun main ummid-e-inayt
anjan tha har shkhs khani se hmari
hasil huee tujhse hi hmen azmt o shohrt
yadon ki mhkti huee jnzir-e-tilaee
phne hue hai aaj bhi nakam muhbbt
afsana suhana hai ‘kanwal’ ishq ka lekin
kuchh bhi nahin is rah mein juz ashk-e-ndamt
