Ghazal
मुज़्दा ऐ ज़ौक़-ए-असीरी कि नज़र आता है
This ghazal delves into the paradox of finding joy in metaphorical captivity and an insatiable yearning for suffering that finds no solace. It poignantly describes the tragedy of a lover whose life ebbs away just as the beloved arrives, and expresses a wish for a swift, decisive end to prolonged agony rather than a slow, lingering death.

मुज़्दा ऐ ज़ौक़-ए-असीरी कि नज़र आता है
दाम-ए-ख़ाली क़फ़स-ए-मुर्ग़-ए-गिरफ़्तार के पास
Glad tidings, O desire for captivity! For now it is seen,An empty net, near the cage where the captured bird has been.

मैं भी रुक रुक के न मरता जो ज़बाँ के बदले
दशना इक तेज़ सा होता मिरे ग़म-ख़्वार के पास
I too would not have died by fits and starts, if instead of a tongue,my sympathizer had possessed a sharp dagger.
I too would not have died slowly and intermittently if my sympathizer had a sharp dagger instead of a tongue. The poet suggests that a swift, decisive action would have been preferable to a prolonged, painful existence.
