खुदा हाफिज

na jane kaun se manjil mujhe her bar milti hai,
meree ye lekhani charcha yahi her bar likhti hai;

mila milker bhi mil na shake milane ke liye,
humee her bar likhten hain khuda hafij-2;


vahi hai hoti manjil, vahi rasta hai hota ;
humin hoten hai musafir, vahi dasta hota;

likhi jati hai her bar apni dastane manjil,
sooni pad hi jati hai hamari her nayee mahafil;

ab to lugta hai nayee mahfil ka koi jikra hi na ho,
na hogi koi dastan aur koi fikra bhi na ho;


hume milne milane ka koi shauk hi na ho;
ab kishi aur she bichhadne ka koi khauf hi na ho;

चाँद पनघट पर चला है

Chand panghat par chala hai, 

Chandani se chupchap milane,

Chandani bekhauf ban ker ,

Chand par ithala rahee hai.

      

           Pad rahin hain nanhe bonde,

           Yun kamar ke is uchak se;

           Jhunjhunaten hain ye jhingur,

           Payali ka sur shamete ;

 

Thandhi Thandhi ye pavan bhi

Mast maula ye gagan bhi ,

Geet koi ga raha hai 

Chandanee ki rag ban ker;

    

           Ped pnchhe Sant hain sab

           Shrota Banker Aj iihan par;

           Hain Dibik Dib baj uthate 

           Mndoke panghat Saj ban ker;



Rat ranee Khil uthe hai 

Apnee ujali vesh mein 

Mano gajara bandh di ho 

Chandanee ki kesh mein ;



           Mand Madak gandh faile,

           Ish ghata ghanghor mein;

           Chand bandhak ban chuka hai

           Chandanee ki dor mein .



  

           

क्यारी की आत्म कथा

subah savere dhale hain ghanere,
Diwaker Uda le gayen hain andhere;
kise khobsorat bageeche men ja ker,
kise khobsurat kyari mein dekho.
      
         Shaghan hare patton mein,
         kucha lalima hai ;
         peeli gulabi ,
         Shunahree shama hai .


Khili hai kali ,
Is khadee dopahar mein             
Tapi hai ye suraj ki
Ghanee aag mein .

         Tabhi to lubhon par subah muskurati,
         Huye sam jub to hai sukh jati !
         Par kya agale din soonee hai kyari ?
         Nayee fir khili hai kali aj pyaree .
