Gulshan-e-yaad mein gar aaj dam'ay baad-e-saba,
Phir se chahay ke gul-afshan ho, tu ho jaanay do,
Umer-e-rafta ke kisi taaq pe bisra hua dard,
Phir se chahay ke ferozaan ho, tu ho jaanay do,
Jaisay begana se ab miltay ho, waisay hi sahi,
Aao do char ghari meray muqabil betho,
Garcha mil bethein ge ham tum tu mulaqat ke baad,
Apna ahsas-e-ziyaan aur ziyada hoga,
Hum sukhan hongay jo ham donu tu har baat ke beech,
Unkahi baat ka mohoom sa pardah hoga,
Koi iqrar na mein yaad dilaaonga na tum!
Koi mazmoon wafa ka na jafa ka hoga,
Gard-e-Ayyaam ki tehreer ko dhonay ke liye,

There is much real beauty in Altaf's ghazals, along with a marvellous precocity of thought. He conveys the uncertainty of Kenyan life as well as its joys and fancies. His poetic collection "DIL KI ANKH" will win popularity because much of it is conventionally charming.
