Waqt
Beetein mein apne jhank our apna hisab dekh
Main kaun hu utarkar mera nakab dekh
Tharra gaya kyu zehan, tharra gaya kyu jism
Aankhon mein meri banta tu apna kabab dekh
Boodha kiya hai maine main boodha nahi hua
Main waqt hun tu adab se mera ruaab dekh
Hai keemti safedi hifazt tu iski kar
In jhurriyon ke beech na khoya shabab dekh
Kamsin hai jism uska use khauf nahi hai
Kanton ke beech mein khilta gulab dekh
Chamde ka main sahi lohe ka tu sahi
Main hu lagam lekin tu ha raqab dekh
Ab raat gayi raat ki baaton ko jane de
Geeto gazal ko chhod ab Kuran-e-Kitab dekh
Ab tak ki zindagi mein jo paida kiye sawal
Un sab ke aa gaye hain le sare jawab dekh
Critical comment:- this is a fine piece written by you but the way u approached to life of a tired old man seems to be giving up everything.The line"ab raat gayi....." seems that u have accepted that you are at your old days now. Geet gazal is a sign of young mind and u are talking to give it up...
