Ghazal 13
bhet na khulhe chanaN wanDde aae da
dass sakda san par na dassi jo kujh biti ghalati kiti
Digga inj main KHab de mahilon tabiran de Dhaare ’te
haali te sikka na chalia chann ’te insan da
jangan de wich aman di boli bol rahe aan
jiundi jaane mera kise na puchhia dil da haal
KHudagharzi di nheri waggi piar da diwa baale kauN ?
kis da kardi pas hayati
mizaj mausam da KHawre kinhe shadid kita
munh da zaika kauDa kauDa khise saDe sakhNe
musakrandi zindagi nun sunna sunna kar gia
sajje hatth nun khabbe hatth da ena wi itbar nahin
sathon wekhe gae na roNe bachian de
