مشغلہ کیا ہے ۔ پنڈت جگ موہن رائینا شوقؔ
۱
تنِ بے جاں میں اب رہا کیا ہے
دیکھیے مرضیِ خدا کیا ہے
۲
اپنی حالت پہ آج روتا ہے
دلِ دیوانہ کو ہوا کیا ہے
۳
اے طبیبو تمہیں خدا کی قسم
سچ بتا دو کہ ماجرا کیا ہے
۴
میں خطا وار ہی سہی لیکن
سن تو لو پہلے ماجرا کیا ہے
۵
نہ کھلا آج تک کسی پر بھی
خطِ تقدیر میں لکھا کیا ہے
۶
کیوں یہ چپ چپ گئے عدم والے
یا الٰہی یہ ماجرا کیا ہے
۷
لبِ زخمِ جگر تو ہنستے ہیں
تو نے اے بخیہ گر سیا کیا ہے
۸
دل تو کیا جان عشق میں دے دی
یہ نہ پوچھا کہ مدعا کیا ہے
۹
اُٹھ کے پچھلے سے آہوں کا بھرنا
شوقؔ تیرا یہ مشغلہ کیا ہے

दिल-ए दीवाना को हुआ क्या है

अए तबीबो तुम्हें ख़ुदा की क़सम

ख़त-ए तक़्दीर में लिखा क्या है
