Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
ab ki holi men raha be-kar rang
aur hi laaya firaq-e-yar rang
surakh-ru kar de sharab aai bahar
hai khizan se zard ai khummar rang
hont uude sabz khat ankhen siyah
chehre ka surK-o-safed ai yaar rang
ham ko saare gulshan-e-afaq men
bas pasand aae yahi do-char rang
ghair se kheli hai holi yaar ne
daale mujh par dida-e-khun-bar rang
kis ki holi jashn-e-nau-rozi hai aaj
surkh mai se saqiya dastar rang
hijr-e-janan men thaharta hi nahin
kya hi mere munh se hai bezar rang
kya hai girgit asman ke samne
badle ik ik dam men sau sau baar rang
aati hai o qais laila dasht men
khun-e-pa se jild ab pur-khar rang
dhuup hai par mere roz-e-hijr ka
hai ba-rang-e-saya-e-divar rang
ho gaya kyuun zard ‘nasikh’ kya kahun
hai zamane ka ajab ai yaar rang
