Ghazal 65

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

aai hai kuchh na puchh qayamat kahan kahan

sitaron se ulajhta ja raha hun

kisi ka yun to hua kaun umr bhar phir bhi

meri sada hai gul-e-sham-e-sham-e-azadi

Sher 167

bahut pahle se un qadmoñ kī aahaT jaan lete haiñ

tujhe ai zindagī ham duur se pahchān lete haiñ

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain

tujhe ai zindagi hum dur se pahchan lete hain

ek muddat se tirī yaad bhī aa.ī na hameñ

aur ham bhuul ga.e hoñ tujhe aisā bhī nahīñ

ek muddat se teri yaad bhi aai na hamein

aur hum bhul gae hon tujhe aisa bhi nahin

maut kā bhī ilaaj ho shāyad

zindagī kā koī ilaaj nahīñ

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

maut ka bhi ilaj ho shayad

zindagi ka koi ilaj nahin

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

khote hain agar jaan to kho lene de

karte nahin kuchh to kaam karna kya aae

tu hath ko jab hath mein le leti hai

har saz se hoti nahin ye dhun paida

aa ja ki khaDi hai sham parda ghere
