Harf

Bewajah zarf kyun
Harf jo hai badshah
Bezubaan ki zubaan
Pe haal-e-dil hai raazdaan

Rehnuma bas harf kyun
Harf hi hai kehkashan
Harf ki karigari
Harf ke sab imtihaan

Cheaday na koi barg-e-saaz
Kholay na koi marg-e-raaz

Nuks phir koi khil ke aagaya
Shor na sadah, O marhaba
Aaj kal koi, khwaab na khumaar
Nargis-e-jaza, 0 shadmaan

Ban ke aah-o-zaar nafs-e-nagawaar
Hasratein hazaar hoye mazaar
Shab gaye daag-e-dil ko qaraar
Majlis-e-wafa ho beshumaar

Khwahishen zard kyun
Harf jo hai badshah
Ho azmaa khwabon ka zor is tarah
Harf phir ho aabshaar

Cheaday na koi barg-e-saaz
Kholay na koi marg-e-raaz
