Ghazal: Pani Pani

Hamare sabhi mansubhe pe phir gaya hai pani
Tabai macha raha hai kyon ghir gaya hai pani

Kabhi jindagi yeh deta tha ab maut ban gaya hai
Jeene ki sabhi taqatun se bhid gaya hai pani

Kudrat ki bekadri dekhi gayi na iss se
Badle le raha hai chid gaya hai pani

Virat roop pani ka dekh ke sab darre hai
Ab khamosh kaise hoga jab chidh gaya hai pani

Faslen pedh podhe roshni jindagi dene ka kar ke vaada
Barbaadi kar ke vaadun se phir gaya hai pani.

Ab ke. baras itna barsa jitna kabhi na barsa
Pehle desh ke dil kandu pe ab sir gaya hai pani

Joh bhi iss ke aage aaya usse nisbo naboodh kar ke
Dil se hi nahi ab demaag se bhi phir gaya hai paani.

Zannat mere desh ki pani ne bani hai dozakh
Khudaya rokh isse asmaan se bahut ghir gaya hai pani

Bahut roya hai asmaan dekh ke tabai khudrat ki "Chahat"
Kyon ke bepavun ke hai barsa besir gaya hai pani.
