خواجہ پرویز کے چند گیت

زندگی  تماشہ  بں ڑی  دنیا  دا  ہاسا  بں ڑی

بھُلّ جاں ڑ اے سبھ غم دنیا دے

وَگّ دے نیں اکھی آں چوں راوی تے چنھا وے

دو دِلّ اِکّ دوُجے کولوں دوُر ہو گئے

سانھوُں اِکّ پل چین نہ آوے  سجناں تیرے بنا

اکھیاں اُڈیک دیاں دل واجاں مار دا

تمہی ہو محبوب میرے

پیار بھرے دو شرمیلے نین

جو نہ مِل سکے وہی بے وفا

جب کوئی پیار سے بُلائے گا

دل ِ ویراں ہے تیری یاد ہے تنہائی ہے

تیری محفل سے یہ دیوانہ چلا جائے گا
