غزل ہوئی پیدا ۔ رام چندر ورما ساحلؔ
۱
کلی پہ آیا جو بھنورا غزل ہوئی پیدا
جو چاند جھیل میں اُترا غزل ہوئی پیدا
۲
شعاعِ مہر سے پھولون کے تن پہ گلشن میں
جو قطرہ اوس کا چمکا غزل ہوئی پیدا
۳
ادائے ناز سے ساقی کے مدبھرے تن کا
عکس پیمانے میں اُترا غزل ہوئی پیدا
۴
سنہری شام کی دلہن کے چوڑے ماتھے پر
لگی جو چاند کی بندیا غزل ہوئی پیدا
۵
ہتھیلیوں کو بجاتے لپکتے مسکاتے
چہکتے طفل کو دیکھا غزل ہوئی پیدا
۶
گلوں کا کھلنا نمودِ نشاط ہے ساحلؔ
چمن میں چہکا پرندہ غزل ہوئی پیدا
ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा – राम चंद्र वरमा साहेल
१
कली पे आया जो भंवरा ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
जो चांद झील में उतरा ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
२
शो’आ-ए महर से फूलौं के तन पे गुलशन में
जो क़तरा ओस का चमका ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
३
अदा-ए नाज़ से साक़ी के मद-भरे तन का
अक्स पैमाने में उतरा ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
४
सुनहरी शाम कि दुल्हन के चौढे माथे पर
लगी जो चांद कि बिंदिया ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
५
हथेलियौं को बजाते लपकते मुस्काते
चहकते तिफ़्ल को देखा ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
६
गुलौं का खिलना नुमूद नीशात है साहेल
चमन में चहका परिंदा ग़ज़ल हुई पैदा
