ye pili shaKH par baiThe hue pile parinde
larazti dhup ki aaghosh mein sahme parinde
KHuda malum kis aawaz ke pyase parinde
wo dekho KHamushi ki jhil mein utre parinde
mere kamre ki virani se uktae parinde
sulagti dopahar mein kis taraf jate parinde
hisar-e-jism se ghabra ke jab nikle parinde
hawa ki zad mein aa kar der tak chiKHe parinde
KHud apne shoala-e-parwaz se jalte parinde
KHala-e-yaKH-zada mein rah ke bhi sulge parinde
mere dast-e-hawas-alud se uDte parinde
kisi shaKH-e-jawani tak nahin pahunche parinde
azal se ek hasin KHushbu ke diwane parinde
abad tak 'kaif' dasht-e-rang mein bhaTke parinde
Ghazal
Ye pili shaKH par baiThe hue pile parinde
