KHwab Kya Hain Sharab Ki Jhilen

Poet

ḳhvab kya hain sharab ki jhilen

niind aa.e to ham zara pi len

ek suraj hazar-ha kirnen

khul ga.i hain hayat ki rilen

tez maghrib ki ho ga.i hai hava

thartharane lagi hain qindilen

shahr ki gard hi lipaT jaa.e

koi apna mile to ham ji len

fart-e-gham se chaTaḳh ga.e alfaz

kaise niklengi ruuh se kilen

ye bhi ghar ho gaya hai nazr-e-fasad

is men rahti thiin kuchh ababilen

baat apni banegi kya ‘asrar’

zehn men rah ga.i hain tavilen
