Rach gayi khushbu mein gul-andaam

Rach gayi khushbu mein gul-andaam

                           Marriage poetry

Rach gayi khushbu mein gul-andaam*, saman brr*
Tikti nahin nazar ke ussay dekhun nazar bhar

Woh husn-e-saraapa ke pairaahan* bhi itraaye
Jo rkhy sahj sahj* ke qadam mehkay reh-guzar

Munaqqash* dhaari daar aanchal ki aarr se
Jhaank raha hai tera rukh-e-mo’tabarr*

Teri chaand soorat dekh dekh toot rhe hain
Taaro’n ko chamaknay ka nahin waqt moyassar

Chaman ke sbhi phool tujhy dekh kr kahen
Hum se bhi ziyaada hasee’n? Hairat hai sara-srr

Zidd kar raha hai chaand in palko’n mein rehny ki
In surmagee’n* aankhon ki siyaahi ko dekh kar

Tu ne kaha jis dil-kashi se “qubool hai”
Bol uthay lafz “aye naazneen*!! Mukarrar”

Mehndi lagay haathon mein muqayyad* huwa qalam
Mansoob kar gaya tujhy khushiyon se umr bhrr

Nikaah-e-muqaddas ki mubaarik hai de rahi
Tere liye fiza bhi ho rhi hai mu’attar

Iss qadar khuloos se maanga tujhy mein ne..
Rashk kr raha tha shbb ka pehr-e-mu’akharr*…
