Poet
chashm-e-khunbar sa barse na kabhu paani ek
abr har chand kare apna lahu paani ek
shust-o-shu nama-e-aamal ki jis se hoe
baras ai abr-e-karam mujh pe vo tu paani ek
laakh paani se main dhoya na chhuta zakhm ka khuun
kaam aaya na mire vaqt-e-rafu paani ek
aaj tak ashk miri aankh se girte hain safed
zarf men apne ye rakhta hai subu paani ek
ta-kamar abr-e-mizha apna to barsa sau baar
na hua mauj-zanan ta-ba-gulu paani ek
ham tiri chaal se dil kyunki na haren is ai charkh
baazi dushvar hai tujh se to adu paani ek
bazi-e-murgh men bhi haar rahi ‘ghafil’ ki
tujh se jiita na vo ai arbada-ju paani ek
