Ghazal
Munh Taka Hi Kare Hai Jis Tis Ka
मुँह तका ही करे है जिस तिस का
This ghazal explores the themes of illusion and pretense in life. The poet suggests that the masks worn by people are merely illusions, and even the mirror is puzzled by the mystery. It touches upon the transient nature of love, appearances, and life itself.

For it is the mouth that has spoken such a thing.

My heart is like a destitute lamp.

While the hand is wrapped in the narcissus.

फ़ैज़ ऐ अब्र चश्म-ए-तर से उठा
