GHAZAL

Jaise jaise umr dhalti jaaye hai

Zindagi ki pyas badhti jaaye hai

Jane kya jadoo hai uske zikr mein

Baat chal nikle to chalti jaaye hai

Kaisi gard-aalood hai ghar ki fiza

Aayeene par dhool jamti jaaye hai

Mit chuki jeene ki ik-ik aarzoo

Saans hai kambakht chalti jaaye hai

Zindagi ko lag gayi kis ki nazar

Har khushi gham mein badlti jaaye hai

Ho gaye kachche makaan pakke magar

Gaon se tehzib uthti jaaye hai

Aane wale ab ‘Naresh’ aayenge kya

Zindagi ki shaam dhalti jaaye hai
