شیوۂ ناز ہوش چھل جانا

طرز رفتار دل کچل جانا

Shewa-e-naz hosh chhal jana

Tarz-e-raftar dil kuchal jana

صف مژگاں کے جھوک سے گر کر

ہم سے کب ہو سکا سنبھل جانا

Saf-e-mizhgan ke jhok se gir kar

Hum se kab ho saka sambhal jana

اس نے آنے کہا ہے صبح اے اشک

تو پلک پر نہ ایک پل جانا

Us ne aane kaha hai subh ai ashk

Tu palak par na ek pal jana

Link to this couplet

ہم ابھی منتظر ہیں آنے کے

دن ڈھلے گا تو تو بھی ڈھل جانا

Hum abhi muntazir hain aane ke

Din dhalega to tu bhi dhal jana

دل نے سیکھا ہے بے طرح سے نظیرؔ

بن کہے بن سنے نکل جانا

Dil ne seekha hai be-tarah se Nazir

Bin kahe bin sune nikal jana

About this ghazal

A short ghazal in a light metre on the refrain "jana": the lover asks a tear not to fall before the beloved arrives in the morning, and to wait until the day goes down. The heart, meanwhile, has learned to slip away without a word. Given in full.
