chamak rahi hai paroon mein uraan ke khushboo
bula rahi hai bohat asmaan ke khushboo

bhatak rahi hai purani dalaiyaan oorhay
havaili mein mairay khandaan ke khushboo

suna kay koye kahani, humain sulaatee theen
dua'oon jaisee, baray pandaan ke khushboo

daba tha phool koyee maiz poosh kay neechay
garaj rahi thee bohat paychwan ke khushboo

ajab waqar tha sookhay sunehray baloon mein
udasiyoon ke chamak, zard lawn ke khushboo

woh itar dan sa lehja mairay buzurgon ka
rachi bashi hoi urdu zubaan ke khushboo

khuda ka shukar hai mairay jawan baitay kay
badan say aanay lagi hai za'fran ke khushboo

umartoon ke bulandi pay koi mousam kya
kahan say aa gai kachay makaan ke khushboo

guloon pay likhti hoi La' illah il Lall Allah
pahariyoon say utartee azaan ke khushboo

koee phool dhoop ke patioon mein haray ribbun say bandha howa
woh ghazal ka lehja naya naya, na kaha howa na suna howa

jissay lay gaiee hai abhi hawa, woh warq tha dil ke kitaab kaa
kaheen ansoon say mita howa, kaheen ansoon say likha howa

kaee meel rait ko kaat kar koye mouj phool khilla gayee
koi pair payaas say mar raha hai nadi kay paas khara howa

wohi khat keh jis pay jagah jagah do mehaktay hontoon kay chand thay
kisee bholay bisray say taaq par teh gard ho ga daba howa

mujhay hadsoon nay saja saja kay bohat haseen bana diya
mera dil bhi jaisay dulhan ka haath ho mehandiyon say racha howa

wohi sehar hai wohi rastay wohi ghar hai aur wohi lawn bhi
magar iss dareechay say poochna woh darakhat anar ka kya howa

mairay sath jugnoo hai humsafar, magar iss sharar ke bisaat kya
yeah chiragh koi chiraagh hai, na jala howa, na bujha howa

A Pakistani politician went to the US to visit his counterpart. When the Senator invited him home for dinner, the minister was very impressed by the lavish mansion, grounds and the costly furnishings. He asked ""How can you afford all this on a meagre senator-s salary?""
The senator smiled knowingly and took him to the window.
""Can you see the river?""
""Yes""
""Can you see the bridge over it?""
""Of course"", said the minister.
""10 per cent"", said the senator smugly.
Some time later, he had occasion to pay a return visit. The Pakistani minister lavished all hospitality on him. When they came to his house, the American was stunned by the huge palace the minister had built, glittering with precious art, hundreds of servants etc. etc.
""How can you possibly afford this, on a salary in RS?-, he asked.
The minister called him to the window.
""See the river over there?""
""Sure"", cried the senator.
""Can you see the bridge over it?""
The senator looked, was confused, peered closely and said - ""No, I don-t see any bridge.""
""100 percent"", said the minister!!
