Mahaul

tabiat jabriya taskin se ghabrai jaati hai

hansun kaise hansi kam-bakht tu murjhai jaati hai

bahut chamka raha huun khal-o-khat ko sai-e-rangin se

magar pazhmurdagi si khal-o-khat par chhai jaati hai

umidon ki tajalli khuub barsi shisha-e-dil par

magar jo gard thi tah men vo ab tak paai jaati hai

javani chhedti hai laakh khvabida tamanna ko

tamanna hai ki us ko niind hi si aai jaati hai

mohabbat ki nigun-sari se dil duuba sa rahta hai

mohabbat dil ki izmehlal se sharmai jaati hai

faza ka sog utra aa raha hai zarf-e-hasti men

nigah-e-shauq ruh-e-arzu kajlai jaati hai

ye rang-e-mai nahin saaqi jhalak hai khun-shuda dil ki

jo ik dhundli si surkhi ankhdiyon men paai jaati hai

mire mutrib na de lillah mujh ko davat-e-naghma

kahin saz-e-ghulami par ghazal bhi gaai jaati hai
