Famous ghazals
کبھی کہا نہ کسی سے ترے فسانے کو
نہ جانے کیسے خبر ہوگئی زمانے کو
سنا ہے غیر کی محفل میں تم نہ جاؤ گے
کہو تو آج سجا لوں غریب خانے کو
دعا بہار کی مانگی تو اتنے پھول کھلے
کہیں جگہ نہ ملی میرے آشیانے کو
چمن میں جانا تو صیاد دیکھ کر جانا
اکیلے چھوڑ کر آیا ہوں آشیانے کو
مری لحد پہ پتنگوں کا خون ہوتا ہے
حضور شمع نہ لایا کریں جلانے کو
دبا کہ قبر میں سب چل دیۓ دعا نہ سلام
ذرا سی دیر میں کیا ہوگیا زمانے کو
اب آگے اس میں تمہارا بھی نام آیٔگا
جو حکم ہو تو یہیں چھوڑ دوں فسانے کو
قمر ذرا بھی نہیں تم کو خوفِ رسوایٔ
چلے ہو چاندنی شب میں انہیں بلانے کو
"Never told your story to anyone, don't know how people found out?
You will not go to the party of my rival, so today I will decorate my humble home
So I asked for spring flowers to bloom, found no place for my nest in the garden
If you go to see the garden, beware of the hunter, I have left unprotected my own nest
Insects thus get murdered over my grave, do not burn candles there brought for my grave
After burying me in the grave, people walk away without giving me due respect
Now your name will also show up in this story, if you command, I'll drop this story right here
Qamar not the slightest fear you have about earning a bad name, you are going to call for her in the moonlit night?"
