Taj-mahal

hai kinare ye jamuna ke ek shahkar

dekhna chandni mein tum is ki bahaar

yaad-e-mumtaz mein ye banaya gaya

sang-e-marmar se is ko tarasha gaya

shahjahan ne banaya baDe shauq se

barson is ko sajaya baDe shauq se

han ye bhaarat ke mahallat ka taj hai

sab ke dil pe isi ka sada raj hai

is ki kari-gari hai baDi be-misal

waqai hai zamana mein ye la-zawal

ek shaffaf aaina samjhun na kyun

is ko nargis ka gul-dasta kyun na kahun

kya miTaega naqsh is ke kaise koi

taj 'hafiz'-ji kyun kar banae koi
