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

wo kaun hai jo mujh pe tassuf nahin karta

sab ko duniya ki hawas KHwar liye phirti hai

Sher 72

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

tum bhuul kar bhī yaad nahīñ karte ho kabhī

ham to tumhārī yaad meñ sab kuchh bhulā chuke

tum bhul kar bhi yaad nahin karte ho kabhi

hum to tumhaari yaad mein sab kuchh bhula chuke

ab to ghabrā ke ye kahte haiñ ki mar jā.eñge

mar ke bhī chain na paayā to kidhar jā.eñge

being agitated I express the hope to die, although

in death, if solace is not found, then where shall I go?

ab to ghabra ke ye kahte hain ki mar jaenge

mar ke bhi chain na paya to kidhar jaenge

being agitated I express the hope to die, although

in death, if solace is not found, then where shall I go?

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' takalluf meñ hai taklīf sarāsar

ārām meñ hai vo jo takalluf nahīñ kartā

save trouble, in formality, zauq nothing else can be

at ease he then remains he who, eschews formality

ai 'zauq' takalluf mein hai taklif sarasar

aaram mein hai wo jo takalluf nahin karta

save trouble, in formality, zauq nothing else can be

at ease he then remains he who, eschews formality

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
