Ghazal
तग़ाफ़ुल-दोस्त हूँ मेरा दिमाग़-ए-इज्ज़ 'आली है
The ghazal delves into the poet's embrace of indifference and his exalted sense of helplessness. It laments a world lacking true spirit despite superficial abundance and expresses profound sorrow over the beloved's cruelty, which makes even mountains succumb to the poet's pleas. Ultimately, it reflects a deep weariness where only traces of restless passion remain amidst a paradoxical existence of pain and superficial comfort.

तग़ाफ़ुल-दोस्त हूँ मेरा दिमाग़-ए-इज्ज़ 'आली है
अगर पहलू-तही कीजे तो जा मेरी भी ख़ाली है
I am a friend of neglect, my humble spirit is lofty; If you were to step aside, then my place too is empty.

रहा आबाद 'आलम अहल-ए-हिम्मत के न होने से
भरे हैं जिस क़दर जाम-ओ-सुबू मय-ख़ाना ख़ाली है
The world thrives due to the absence of people of true spirit;For all that the cups and goblets are filled, the tavern is empty.

बुतान-ए-शोख़ का दिल सख़्त होगा किस क़दर या-रब

निशान-ए-बे-क़रार-ए-शौक़ जुज़ मिज़्गाँ नहीं बाक़ी
कई काँटे हैं और पैराहन-ए-शक्ल-ए-निहाली है
Of restless passion's sign, nought but the lashes stay,Many thorns there are, and a sapling's form the garment does display.

जुनूँ कर ऐ चमन तहरीर-ए-दर्स-ए-शग़्ल-ए-तन्हाई

O garden, inscribe the lesson of solitary rapture,
For to the ardent gaze, even the desert is a ghazal's divan.

सियह-मस्ती है अहल-ए-ख़ाक को अब्र-ए-बहारी से
ज़मीं जोश-ए-तरब से जाम-ए-लबरेज़-ए-सिफ़ाली है

The earth, with joy's surge, is an overflowing earthen cup held deep.

'असद' मत रख त'अज्जुब ख़र-दिमाग़-हा-ए-मुनइ'म का
