Ghazals on Rooh
phuTTe ne umiidaan de manaan bhaag kadii iun vii?
buund ih paaNii dii hai is’chon samundar dekh lai
kite gaanii dii charchaa sii kite jhaanjar dii phabbat sii
hoiaa haan sangsaar te TuTTaa nahiin haan main
ghar ghar vich hanheraa hai
na kise gharon hii talaash kar
tuun vii priit nibhaaii bhaaven main vii priit nibhaaii
main aape samajh laangaa pair aapNaa dharadiaan andar
apNe saae de samundar vichch khar jaavaangaa main
ruuh nuun chup dii sazaa ton suraKHruu karde rahe
shahir 'cha us nuun bhaaladiaan hii Dhal jaaNii tarkaal
main taan us nuun rok rihaa sii karke yatan hazaar
ho gaii aisii vii saathon kii KHataa
chaandii dii Dalii baN ke kiven ruuh’cha Dalhkii
