[jalpari]

thokar lagi tou apne muqaddar pe ja gira

phir yun hua k aaina pathar pe ja gira

ehsaas_e_farz jab bhi hua neend aagayi

chalna tha pul_e_siraat par, bistar pe ja gira

baazi muhabbaton ki jahaalat ne jeet li

wo ban gaya khateeb jo mimbar pe ja gira

khushboo kasoor war nahi is ko chor do,

mai phool torte hue khanjar pe ja gira

sehra'aon me liye phirey pani ki justajo

jab piyaas mar gayi tou samandar per ja gira

sheher_e_talab me itni thi aukaat meri

sikkay ki tarha dasht_e_gadagar pe ja gira

qanoon ne jo dho dia mujrim ki aankh se

wo daagh begunaah ki chadar pe ja gira

sab log bewafai ki khandaq me ja chupay

malba muhabbat ka "mohsin" pe ja gira
