Ghazal
jiski qismat mein kare peer ka deedar khuda
This Sufi ghazal highlights the supreme divine blessing of beholding the spiritual master (Pir), which liberates the seeker from yearning for worldly distractions. It also poignantly contrasts the purity of spiritual devotion with the pitfall of ego and self-worship, which prevents a person from experiencing true enlightenment.

जिसकी क़िस्मत में करे पीर का दीदार ख़ुदा

उस बेचारे से भला पीर-परस्ती क्या हो
ख़ुद-परस्ती में करे जिसको गिरफ़्तार ख़ुदा

नेक बद ख़ुर्द बुज़ुर्गों ने नहीं जिसको फ़र्क़

सेहत-ए-क़ल्ब तो आसान नहीं मुश्किल है बहुत

ऐसे ताले के पकड़े न क़दम कोई क्यूँकर
हाथ से जिसके करे नाद-ए-अली पार ख़ुदा
