gulashan kii faqat phuulo.n se nahii.n kaa.NTo.n se bhii ziinat hotii hai
Saba Afghani

gulashan kii faqat phuulo.n se nahii.n kaa.NTo.n se bhii ziinat hotii hai
jiine ke liye is duniyaa me.n Gam kii bhii zaruurat hotii hai

ai vaa_iz-e-naadaan karataa hai tuu ek qayaamat kaa charchaa
yahaa.N roz nigaahe.n milatii hai.n yahaa.N roz qayaamat hotii hai

vo purasish-e-Gam ko aaye hai.n kuchh kah na sakuu.N chup rah na sakuu.N
Kaamosh rahuu.N to mushkil hai kah duu.N to shikaayat hotii hai

karanaa hii pa.Degaa zabt-e-alam piine hii pa.De.nge yah aa.Nsuu
fariyaad-o-fuGaa.n se ai naadaan tauhiin-e-mohabbat hotii hai

jo aake ruke daaman pe 'sabaa' vo ashq nahii.n hai.n paanii hai
jo aa.Nsuu na chhalake aa.Nkho.n se us ashq kii qiimat hotii hai
