Holi

aaj hai roz-e-wasant ai dostan

sarw-qad hai bostan ke darmiyan

bagh mein hai aish-o-ishrat raat din

gul-ruKHan bin nain guzarti ek din

sab ke tan mein hai libas-e-kesri

karte hain sad-barg sun lab ham-sari

KHub-ru sab ban rahe hain lal zard

bagh ka bazar hai is waqt sard

chand jaisa hai shafaq bhitar ayan

chehra sab ka az-gulal aatish-fishan

har chhabeli az-libas-e-kesari

taza karti hai bahaare-e-jafri

nachti ga ga ke holi dam-ba-dam

jyun sabha indar ki dar bagh-e-iram

az kabir-o-rang-e-kesar aur gulal

abr chhaya hai safed-o-zard-o-lal

jiyun jhaDi har su hai pichkari ki dhaar

dauDti hain nariyan bijli ke sar

josh-e-ishrat ghar-ba-ghar hai har taraf

nachti hain sab takalluf-bar-taraf
