Poet
mele men gar nazar na aata ruup kisi matvali ka
phika phika rah jaata tyauhar bhi is divali ka
mayon baiThe rup-sarup ke rog se vaqif lagti hai
anchal bhiga jaata hai is dulhan ki shahbali ka
bartan bartan chiḳh rahi thi kaun samajhta us ki baat
dil ka bartan ḳhali tha us bartan bechne vaali ka
gaal ki janib jhukti hai sharmati hai haT jaati hai
aaj irada Thiik nahin hai jaan tumhari baali ka
shahzade talvar thama de ab darban ke hathon men
kah de ḳhali haath na jaa.e ab ke baar savali ka
phir ‘mumtaz’ kisi ki yaden kunjen ban kar lauTeng
mausam aane vaala hai phir zaḳhmon ki hariyali ka
