وہ نغمہ سردیِ خُونِ غزل سرا کی دلیل

کہ جس کو سُن کے ترا چہرہ تاب ناک نہیں

Woh naghma sardi-e-khun-e-ghazal-sara ki dalil

Ke jis ko sun ke tera chehra tab-nak nahin

نَوا کو کرتا ہے موجِ نفَس سے زہر آلُود

وہ نَے نواز کہ جس کا ضمیر پاک نہیں

Nawa ko karta hai mauj-e-nafas se zahr-alud

Woh nai-nawaz ke jis ka zamir pak nahin

Link to this couplet

پھِرا میں مشرق و مغرب کے لالہ زاروں میں

کسی چمن میں گریبانِ لالہ چاک نہیں

Phira main mashriq o maghrib ke lala-zaron mein

Kisi chaman mein gareban-e-lala chaak nahin

About this nazm

"Music": three couplets. A song that does not make your face glow shows only that the singer's blood has run cold; a flute player whose heart is not pure poisons the tune with his breath. The poet has wandered the tulip fields of East and West and found no garden where the tulip's collar is torn with passion.
