Dho Gai Chehron Se Gard Yas Ka Ghaza Hawa

Mahendra Partap Chand

dho ga.i chehron se gard yaas ka ghaza hava

kar ga.i afsurda ruhon ko tar-o-taza hava

laakh baiThun chhup kar apne band kamron men magar

toḌ kar aa ja.egi ek ek darvaza hava

sub.h anchal ki hava de kar khilati hai jise

shab ko bikhrati hai ḳhud us gil ka shiraza hava

bhar chale the zaḳhm jo phir se lage munh kholne

kuchh purane dard le kar aa.i hai taaza hava

ji tarasta hai phir un lamhon ko jab yakja the sab

raqs-e-mai bu-e-saman rang-e-shafaq taaza hava

ham to apni ḳhana-virani ka matam kar chuke

dekh kar ja kar ab tu koi aur darvaza hava

vo latafat vo mahak kyuun ‘chand’ yaksar kho ga.i

bhar rahi hai kin ḳhataon ka ye ḳhamyaza hava
