Ghazal 41
ajnabi chihre mile koi aashna chihara na si
baNaunde har nagar huN lok bandukan wi khanjar wi
chhaNak pawe jaan raatin kidhre qaidi di zanjir
chiTTa ghha, dhuankhian dhuppan, pile pattar rukkhan de
daraKHtan wich sama jaega daria ek parinda hai
dosti te dushmaNi de silsile sabh toD ke
Dub gia ja ke jangal cha suraj jadon
ghar de darwaze ton apNe nam di taKHti utar
gila hai jis nun gila rahe kih, main khushak rukkhe kias likhdan
hadse te hadasa bhawen barabar aaega
hanera hi hanera si kite chanaN zara na si
har shaKHas es daur da kinna ajib hai
ho jae mera darad na mera hi aashna
is nagar wich dosti na dushamNi di loD hai
je ‘sakandar’ wang di nheri nun baDa hankar hai
jhaDde na patt wekh tun khiDde gulab dekh
jis cha koi shaKHas wi zinda nahin
jis din da likhwa baiThe han apNi bhan te tera nan
kade ih bewsahi na nagar wich na garan wich si
KHun lokan da hai ih paNi nahin
kis tarhan aapNe garan ajj kallh utardi sham likh
kis tarhan apNe garan aj kall utardi sham likh
kis tarhan apNe garan aj kall utardi sham likh
lagda hai sanjh nun rawi inj aasman te
liae san gharan ton durian apNe paran andar
lok gumbad de wangun ne khamosh kiun
lok patthar wechde ne shishian de nal nal
mahik di lippi
main haalatan wichch ghiria is tarhan mahisus karda han
na mere pas shisha si, na usde pas chihara si
na mere wargi hiyat koi, karur wekhe kurKHat wekho
na mere wargi hiyat koi, karur wekhe kurKHat wekho
nira kafar san main teri magar surat khuda laggi
parinde arth mere harf mere aalhNe ne
patta patta ho ke pila rukkh hai jhaDda riha
terian naiNan cha sarghi merian akkhan cha sham
tun jo wi karadain kamal karadain, tun jo wi kamal
yazidan wichch har ek aadmi ghiria khaDa hai
zindagi de warakian wich par na khaban de saja
zindagi di huN tan bas eni katha hi rahi gian
zindgi kuchh gham na kar, ih kujh wi kar jawanga main
