Ghazal 70

hangama hai kyun barpa thoDi si jo pi li hai

duniya mein hun duniya ka talabgar nahin hun

aankhen mujhe talwon se wo malne nahin dete

ghamza nahin hota ki ishaara nahin hota

aah jo dil se nikali jaegi

Sher 127

ham aah bhī karte haiñ to ho jaate haiñ badnām

vo qatl bhī karte haiñ to charchā nahīñ hotā

I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh

she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh

hum aah bhi karte hain to ho jate hain badnam

wo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hota

I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh

she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh

ishq nāzuk-mizāj hai behad

aql kā bojh uThā nahīñ saktā

ishq nazuk-mizaj hai behad

aql ka bojh uTha nahin sakta

ye baat ghalat ki dar-ul-islam hai hind

bhulta jata hai europe aasmani bap ko

duniya se mel ki zarurat hi nahin

ghaflat ki hansi se aah bharna achchha

har ek se suna naya fasana humne
