Ghazal 61

ab to ghabra ke ye kahte hain ki mar jaenge

lai hayat aae qaza le chali chale

waqt-e-piri shabab ki baaten

aate hi tu ne ghar ke phir jaane ki sunai

sab ko duniya ki hawas KHwar liye phirti hai

Sher 70

ek aañsū ne Duboyā mujh ko un kī bazm meñ

buuñd bhar paanī se saarī aabrū paanī huī

a single tear caused my fall in her company

just a drop of water drowned my dignity

ek aansu ne Duboya mujh ko un ki bazm mein

bund bhar pani se sari aabru pani hui

a single tear caused my fall in her company

just a drop of water drowned my dignity

zāhid sharāb piine se kāfir huā maiñ kyuuñ

kyā DeḌh chullū paanī meñ īmān bah gayā

zahid sharab pine se kafir hua main kyun

kya DeDh chullu pani mein iman bah gaya

ai 'zauq' dekh duḳhtar-e-raz ko na muñh lagā

chhuTtī nahīñ hai muñh se ye kāfar lagī huī

ai 'zauq' dekh duKHtar-e-raz ko na munh laga

chhuTti nahin hai munh se ye kafar lagi hui

Qita 4

tu bhala hai to bura ho nahin sakta ai zauq

jinko is waqt mein islam ka dawa hai kamal

duniya se zauq rishta-e-ulfat ko toD de

nazr den nafs-kush ko duniya-dar
