-------------- Ghazal -----------------

Kabhi nain tarse, kabhi nain barse.
Muhabbat chipate zamane ke dar se.

Ghata zulf, bijli girati si aankhen,
Unhi me ulajh ke mere nain barse.

Vahan jo bhi jaye, yaqin rakh ke jaye,
N lautega khali kabhi uske dar se.

Zamin par hi dono hain jannat-jahannum,
Ye mano ya sun lo idhar se udhar se.

Tuhi khair rakkhe tabhi rah sakegi,
Buzurgon ka saya utha mere sar se.

Buzurgi ke ab to bade fayde hain,
Mile chhoot relon me aur aykar se.

'Naya' tairna ab sikha dega tujhko,
Ye pani jo uncha hua apne sar se.

--- V. C. Rai 'Naya'
