nim ke patton ka zaKHmon ko dhuan de dijiye
phir meri aankhon ko pahre-dariyan de dijiye
ho sake to ye nawazish hum faqiron par karen
bujhte rangon ka hamein ye aasman de dijiye
shab-paraston ko bhi taskin-e-ana mil jaegi
un ka haq hai un ko shab-bedariyan de dijiye
shaKH par kanTon ko pairahan badalne ke liye
mausamon ko shabnami be-samtiyan de dijiye
be-hisi ka KHushk sa sahra hai aankhon mein meri
dhul-e-manzar se to kuchh tughyaniyan de dijiye
dhundalke to nauha-KHwani mein bahut masruf hain
raat zaKHmi hai use baisakhiyan de dijiye
aarizi mausam ko bhi ehsas-e-mahrumi na ho
ghar ke sannaTon ko ehsas-e-ziyan de dijiye
dhup mein thoDi si gunjaish nikal aae to 'rind'
ek muTThi chhanw ka hi saeban de dijiye
Ghazal
Nim ke patton ka zaKHmon ko dhuan de dijiye
