Mahaul

tabiat jabriya taskin se ghabrai jati hai

hansun kaise hansi kam-baKHt tu murjhai jati hai

bahut chamka raha hun KHal-o-KHat ko sai-e-rangin se

magar pazhmurdagi si KHal-o-KHat par chhai jati hai

umidon ki tajalli KHub barsi shisha-e-dil par

magar jo gard thi tah mein wo ab tak pai jati hai

jawani chheDti hai lakh KHwabida tamanna ko

tamanna hai ki us ko nind hi si aai jati hai

mohabbat ki nigun-sari se dil Duba sa rahta hai

mohabbat dil ki izmehlal se sharmai jati hai

faza ka sog utra aa raha hai zarf-e-hasti mein

nigah-e-shauq ruh-e-arzu kajlai jati hai

ye rang-e-mai nahin saqi jhalak hai KHun-shuda dil ki

jo ek dhundli si surKHi ankhDiyon mein pai jati hai

mere mutrib na de lillah mujh ko dawat-e-naghma

kahin saz-e-ghulami par ghazal bhi gai jati hai
