tohfa-e-sher-o-suKHan lae hain
hadiya-e-tauba-shikan lae hain
aap ki bazm mein a ham-suKHano
apna sarmaya-e-fan lae hain
sher kuchh lae hain jiddat-amez
kuchh ba-andaz-e-kuhan lae hain
rang-o-ahang ke gul-daste mein
phul kya sara chaman lae hain
sher ki shakl mein qirtas pe hum
gauhar-o-lal-e-yaman lae hain
dil-figari ke sanam-KHane mein
dil-nawazi ka chalan lae hain
lafz mein nikhat-e-gul Dhaal ke hum
dasht-e-ghurbat mein watan lae hain
aaj ki tira-shabi mein yaro
nur ki ek karan lae hain
Ghazal
Tohfa-e-sher-o-suKHan lae hain
