Ghazals on Hope

nakash jaande ne gawache shahir de tamir wich

meri umar di raat nun tare dega kauN ?

ruh te ek shaKHas da kabza rahega der tak

hass ke apNa ghunD cha denda e kauN

maulde mausam jihi pili hari,

meri sarghi nun kis nag ne Dasia hai

siminT, gara, iTTan, chuna, baNde pe makan

kise de rahim’te rahinde, tan ajj nun mar gae hunde

maulde rukkhan de pawe barf widhwa da libas

ih dosh birakh de sir ki dhar rahe ne patte

uh muskan si, jaan naghma jaan nur da chashma si,

kukkh hawwa di de kiun qatal ne aadam ho rahe

honTh gulabi, naiN sharabi, tan sajjNan di baat jiha

hans jihDe kahikshan de kanDhian te lahiNge

chahia si rahega jo nazar di chanaNi baN ke

ki pata si zindgi bhar iun guzare hoNge

rok huN diwar di, didar da masla nahin

panchhi kiun gunm summ ne patte kiun chik rahe

kanDian warge phull san uh jaan phullan warge khaar

shahir mere da jekar mausam badalia hoega
