Praise of beauty

tujh lab ki sifat laal-e-badakhshan sun kahunga jaadu hain tire nain ghazalan sun kahunga...

raat majlis mein tire husn ke shoale ke huzur shama ke munh pe jo dekha to kahin nuur na tha...

kisi kali kisi gul mein kisi chaman mein nahin vo rang hai hi nahin jo tire badan mein nahin...

baDa vasia hai us ke jamal ka manzar vo aaine mein to bas mukhtasar sa rahta hai...

tahrir se varna miri kya ho nahin sakta ik tu hai jo lafzon mein ada ho nahin sakta...

jism ki chaah lakiron se ada karta hai khaak samjhega musavvir tiri angDai ko...

vo chehra haath mein le kar kitab ki surat har ek lafz har ik naqsh ki ada dekhun...

nigahen is qadar qatil ki uff uff adaen is qadar pyaari ki tauba...

vo aa rahe hain sambhal sambhal kar nazara be-khud faza javan hai jhuki jhuki hain nashili aankhen ruka ruka daur-e-aasman hai...
