Ghazal 15
addhi raati jad koi panchhi mare chik
apNi chhan karke hi hundi hai ibaadat birakh di
haar ke bazi je huN parte garan nun
hauLa, bhaara har ikk patthar es nadi wichch kho jaanda hai
hor kise na dar te dastak ditti bajh hawawan de
is tarhan Dera hai laia kujh ghaman ne dil de andar
jis de munh te bewsi te soch da pahira na si
kahir di raat hai, dur parbhat hai
mannia ajj di raat kaLi baDi
pher ki majbur je hoNa piai parwas ’te
roz hi piNa pe isnun piala zahir da
sari raat main dil nun KHaure lae ki ki lare ne
soch riha han kisnun puchchhan, huN main kisda dar khaDkawan
suLaghdi dophir sir te, rukkh par koi nahin
zarad chihre miLe gham cha Dubbe hoe
