Ghazal 61

KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

mera malik jab taufiq arzani karta hai

ab bhi tauhin-e-itaat nahin hogi humse

hijr ki dhup mein chhanw jaisi baaten karte hain

azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya

Nazm 41

barahwan khilaDi

KHush-gawar mausam mein

abhi kuchh din lagenge

abhi kuchh din lagenge

bad-shuguni

ajab ghaDi thi

mohabbat ki ek nazm

meri zindagi mein bas ek kitab hai ek charagh hai

ek tha raja chhoTa sa

ali-iftiKhaar ki man se maine bata diya hai ki apne beTe ko

Sher 105

dil pāgal hai roz na.ī nādānī kartā hai

aag meñ aag milātā hai phir paanī kartā hai

dil pagal hai roz nai nadani karta hai

aag mein aag milata hai phir pani karta hai

ḳhvāb kī tarah bikhar jaane ko jī chāhtā hai

aisī tanhā.ī ki mar jaane ko jī chāhtā hai

KHwab ki tarah bikhar jaane ko ji chahta hai

aisi tanhai ki mar jaane ko ji chahta hai

ḳhud ko bikharte dekhte haiñ kuchh kar nahīñ paate haiñ

phir bhī log ḳhudāoñ jaisī bāteñ karte haiñ

KHud ko bikharte dekhte hain kuchh kar nahin pate hain

phir bhi log KHudaon jaisi baaten karte hain
