Ghazal: Tumare khat main salam kiska tha

[R. M. Dixit]

Tumare khat main naya ek salaam kiska tha
Na tha rakeeb to, aakhir wah naam kiska tha?

Wafaa kaenge, nibaahenge, baat maanege
Tumeh bhi yaad kuch, yeh kalaam kiska ha?

Raha na dil main, weh baderd aur derd raha
mukeem kaun hua, mukaam kiska tha?

Guzer gaya wo jamaana, kahoon to kis se kahun
Khyaal dil ko mere subho-sham kiska tha?

Her ek se kahte hain, kyaa 'Daag' bewafa nikla
Yeh punche unse koii, weh gulam kiska tha.

[Usm@n Butt]
