Ghazal 73

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 126

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

hayā se sar jhukā lenā adā se muskurā denā

hasīnoñ ko bhī kitnā sahl hai bijlī girā denā

how easy is for these maidens to make the lightening fall

haya se sar jhuka lena ada se muskura dena

hasinon ko bhi kitna sahl hai bijli gira dena

how easy is for these maidens to make the lightening fall

jo kahā maiñ ne ki pyaar aatā hai mujh ko tum par

hañs ke kahne lagā aur aap ko aatā kyā hai

laughing, she inquired when, I said I love you

is there anything else at all that you know to do

jo kaha main ne ki pyar aata hai mujh ko tum par

hans ke kahne laga aur aap ko aata kya hai

laughing, she inquired when, I said I love you

is there anything else at all that you know to do
