Ghazal
कमाल-ए-तर्क नहीं आब-ओ-गिल से महजूरी
This ghazal suggests that true 'perfection' or 'greatness' does not lie in pure logic (tark) but rather in the depth of emotional experience and longing (aab-o-gilla). The poet emphasizes that genuine 'poverty' (faqr) is a state of richness, suggesting that emotional and spiritual states are more valuable than material wealth or political power.

That people who lost the might of the Timurids.

हकीम ओ आरिफ़ ओ सूफ़ी तमाम मस्त-ए-ज़ुहूर

Who knows that the manifestation is the very essence of intoxication.

वो मुल्तफ़ित हों तो कुंज-ए-क़फ़स भी आज़ादी
न हों तो सेहन-ए-चमन भी मक़ाम-ए-मजबूरी

But if not, even the garden-mind is a place of compulsion.

बुरा न मान ज़रा आज़मा के देख इसे
