Kab Ghair Hua Mahw Teri Jalwagari Ka

kab ghair hua mahw teri jalwagari ka

tu puchh mere dil se maza be-KHabari ka

sauda jo gul-o-lala ko hai jeb-dari ka

adna ye shagufa hai nasim-e-sahari ka

kis ne lab-e-baam aa ke dikhaya ruKH-e-raushan

KHurshid mein hai rang charagh-e-sahari ka

apni ye ghazal hai ki paristan-e-suKHan hai

parwaz-e-mazamin mein hai andaz pari ka

kuchh kam nahin nazuk mere mazmun-e-kamar se

shohra hai baja yar ki nazuk-kamari ka

ek raat bhi ai mah na jagi meri qismat

sunta tha bahut shor dua-e-sahari ka

jis ne mujhe aagah kiya haal-e-jahan se

kya lutf jamadat ko hai be-KHabari ka

ghurbat mein mila lutf kahin baDh ke watan se

hasil jo hua tujh se maza ham-safari ka

us mah ki mahfil mein jo hai qahqaha-zan aaj

hota hai bat-e-mai pe guman kabk-e-dari ka

quran kahe deta hai ki hum haq ki zaban hain

hota hai juda taur kalam-e-bashri ka

aadam ki to man bhi na thi ai munkir-e-eajaz

isa ko mila sirf sharaf be-pidri ka

sarw-e-qad-e-dilbar ki jo taswir hai dil par

ham-sang nahin lal-e-aqiq-e-shajari ka

aankhen hain hasinon ki tere sabza-e-ruKH par

kyunki na ho mailan ghazalon ko chari ka

chal tu bhi 'asar' le ke mata-e-dil-e-betab

wo dekhne jate hain tamasha guzari ka
