mohabbat ma-siwa ki jis ne ki gori kaloTi ki
yaqin kijo ki kafir ho ke apni rah khoTi ki
mohabbat ma-siwa allah ki har kufr se bad-tar
faqiron ne qanaat tab to barsili langoTi ki
qanaat ka KHazina gar kisi ke hath lag jawe
nahin parwah rakhta hai kisi sarraf soTi ki
dil-e-qane ke tain nan-e-jawin KHush-tar ze-tar-halwa
nahin ho ehtiyaj us ko pulaw gosht roTi ki
jigar khane mein apne faeda az-bas, tu kya jaane
wo jaane chashni chakkhi ho jis ne dil ki boTi ki
tan-e-laghar ba-rah-e-ishq behtar hai bacha la ke
kiya muzghe ne kya hasil agarche shakl moTi ki
ab is duniya mein duniya chhoD kar rahna hi behtar hai
kahani thi baDi lek 'afridi' ne to chhoTi ki
Ghazal
Mohabbat ma-siwa ki jis ne ki gori kaloTi ki
