dosto kya kya diwali mein nashat-o-aish hai
sab muhayya hai jo is hangam ke shayan hai shai
is tarah hain kucha-o-bazar par naqsh-o-nigar
ho ayan husn-e-nigarisatan ki jin se KHub re
garm-joshi apne ba-jam-e-charaghan lutf se
kya hi raushan kar rahi hai har taraf roghan ki mai
mail-e-sair-e-charaghan KHalq har ja dam-ba-dam
hasil-e-nazzara husn-e-shama-ru yan pai-ba-pai
aashiqan kahte hain mashuqon se ba-ijz-o-niyaz
hai agar manzur kuchh lena to hazir hain rupe
gar mukarrar arz karte hain to kahte hain wo shoKH
hum se lete ho miyan takrar-e-hujjat ta-ba-kai
kahte hain ahl-e-qimar aapas mein garm-e-iKHtilat
hum to Dab mein sau rupe rakhte hain tum rakhte ho ke
jit ka paDta hai jis ka danw wo kahta hun main
su-e-dast-e-rast hai mere koi farKHanda-pai
hai dasahre mein bhi yun gar farhat-o-zinat 'nazir'
par diwali bhi ajab pakiza-tar tyauhaar hai
Ghazal
Dosto kya kya diwali mein nashat-o-aish hai
