Poet
ḳhirad ki zad men agar gulsitan bhi aata hai
yaqin-e-alam-e-vahm-e-guman bhi aata hai
gavah ghuncha-o-gul hain bahar ka mausam
mire chaman men ba-rang-e-ḳhizan bhi aata hai
tire huzur hai goya mire labon ka sukut
nigah-e-ishq ko husn-e-bayan bhi aata hai
mire sulagne ka ahval sunne valon ko
jo uTh raha hai nazar vo dhuan bhi aata hai
nigah paḌti hai jab zaḳhm-ha-e-dil pe mujhe
ḳhayal-e-mehr-o-mah-o-kahkashan bhi aata hai
nuqush-e-sajda usi raah ka muqaddar hain
vo raah jis men tira astan bhi aata hai
main naam bhuul raha huun magar koi ‘nashtar’
mujhe sunane miri dastan bhi aata hai
