kal to khele tha wo gilli DanDa
DanD-pel aaj ho gaya sanDa
lal kurta hai ishq aashiq ko
aag mein jaise surKH ho kanDa
dil hai yun zaKHm-dar-e-Das-falak
jaise hota hai machhli ka khanDa
sab mein mashhur hai shujaat-e-murgh
bah afzun kare na kyun anDa
qila-e-charKH par shab-e-hijran
ja ke gaDa hai aah ne jhanDa
'mushafi' gham mein us sahi qad ke
sukh kar ho gaya hai sarkanDa
hukm hai muflisi ka muflis ko
sham se tu charagh kar ThanDa
Ghazal
Kal to khele tha wo gilli DanDa
