gulshan-e-ishq mein ghuncha bhi kali hota hai
nam aashiq ka bhi mashuq-ali hota hai
KHan kahta hai wahan mun-gphali hota hai
phul hoti hai pishawar mein kali hota hai
jab wo paDhti hai tarannum se ghazal ka matla
us ki aankhon mein bhi ita-e-jali hota hai
ek biwi pe jo karta hai qanaat ta-umr
wo to shauhar nahin hota hai wali hota hai
sas ne aaj khilai hai jalebi mujh ko
nim ka peD bhi misri ki Dali hota hai
marshall-law ka main hami to nahin hun lekin
daur-e-jamhur bhi ab band gali hota hai
jis ke lahje mein ho shaistagi-e-tanz-e-latif
aisa shaer hi zarif-e-azali hota hai
Ghazal
Gulshan-e-ishq mein ghuncha bhi kali hota hai
