Ghazal 61

KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

hijr ki dhup mein chhanw jaisi baaten karte hain

mere KHuda mujhe itna to moatabar kar de

azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya

mera malik jab taufiq arzani karta hai

Sher 106

ḳhvāb kī tarah bikhar jaane ko jī chāhtā hai

aisī tanhā.ī ki mar jaane ko jī chāhtā hai

KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

aisi tanhai ki mar jaane ko ji chahta hai

ḳhud ko bikharte dekhte haiñ kuchh kar nahīñ paate haiñ

phir bhī log ḳhudāoñ jaisī bāteñ karte haiñ

KHud ko bikharte dekhte hain kuchh kar nahin pate hain

phir bhi log KHudaon jaisi baaten karte hain

dil pāgal hai roz na.ī nādānī kartā hai

aag meñ aag milātā hai phir paanī kartā hai

dil pagal hai roz nai nadani karta hai

aag mein aag milata hai phir pani karta hai

tum se bichhaḌ kar zinda haiñ

jaan bahut sharminda haiñ

tum se bichhaD kar zinda hain

jaan bahut sharminda hain

mire ḳhudā mujhe itnā to mo'tabar kar de

maiñ jis makān meñ rahtā huuñ us ko ghar kar de

mere KHuda mujhe itna to mo'tabar kar de

main jis makan mein rahta hun us ko ghar kar de
