*مشتاق احمد یوسفی کے انتقالِ پر ملال پر منظوم خراجِ عقیدت*

*کوئی چراغ نہیں، گُل ہوا ہے سورج آج*
*جہانِ ہست میں مشتاق یوسفی نہیں اب*

*ادب کے باغ میں ہر اک شجر ہے افسردہ*
*کریں بھی کیا کہیں سورج کی روشنی نہیں اب*

*مزاح یعنی کہ وہ چھٹھی حس کا جادو گر*
*نہیں ہے وہ تو کسی لب پہ تازگی نہیں اب*

*لطیف ہونٹ ترستے رہیں گے محشر تک*
*کہ آنے والی کہیں سے بھی وہ ہنسی نہیں اب*

*ایک ایک حرف میں پنہاں تھی جو ترے مشتاق*
*کہیں بھی ویسی گراں مایہ دل کشی نہیں اب*

*کوئی چراغ نہیں، گُل ہوا ہے سورج آج*
*جہانِ ہست میں مشتاق یوسفی نہیں اب*
