kashmir ki vaadi mein be-parda jo nikle ho — Saghar Azmi

shohrat ki fazaaon mein itnaa na uDo 'saaghar'
parvaaz na kho jaae in unchi uDaanon mein

shaam Dhale ye soch ke baiThe ham apni tasvir ke paas
saari ghazlein baiThi hongi apne apne miir ke paas

tum kyaa jaano apne aap se kitnaa main sharminda huun
chhuT gayaa hai saath tumhaaraa aur abhi tak zinda huun

tum se milti-julti main aavaaz kahaan se laaungaa
taaj-mahal ban jaae agar mumtaaz kahaan se laaungaa

itnaa naaraaz ho kyuun us ne jo patthar pheinkaa
us ke haathon se kabhi phuul bhi aayaa hogaa

devtaa mere aangan mein utreinge kab zindagi bhar yahi sochtaa rah gayaa
mere bachchon ne to chaand ko chhu liyaa aur main chaand ko pujtaa rah gayaa
