Today’s Ghazal

ab aayeiN ya na aayeiN idhar puuchhate chalo
kyaa chaahati hai un ki nazar puuchhate chalo

ham se agar hai tark-e-ta’alluq to kyaa huaa
yaaro! koi to un ki Khabar puuchhate chalo

jo Khud ko kah rahe haiN ki manzil shanaas haiN
un ko bhii kyaa Khabar hai magar puuchhate chalo

kis manzil-e-muraad ki jaanib ravaaN haiN ham
ai rah-ravaan-e-Khaak-ba-sar puuchhate chalo

Glossary

tark-e-ta’alluq = breaking of all connections, relations
manzil-shanaas = someone who knows the destination, goal
ravaaN = flowing
rahravaan-e-Khaak-ba-sar = a traveler whose head is full of dust

    :cool: very cool different from his Nazm at least the last couplet
    kis manzil-e-muraad ki jaanib ravaaN haiN ham
    ai rah-ravaan-e-Khaak-ba-sar puuchhate chalo

    this travell never ends it is continuing yet. Beacuse the toiling masses here means Khaak basar have not yet get their destination but they have always been diverted
