kabhi jo aankhon mein pal-bhar ko KHwab jagte hain
kabhī jo āñkhoñ meñ pal-bhar ko ḳhvāb jāgte haiñ
to phir mahīnoñ musalsal azaab jāgte haiñ
kisī ke lams kī tāsīr hai ki barsoñ ba.ad
mirī kitāboñ meñ ab bhī gulāb jāgte haiñ
burā.ī kuchh to yaqīnan hai be-hijābī meñ
magar vo fitne jo zer-e-naqāb jāgte haiñ
sitam-shi.āroñ hamārā tum imtihān na lo
hamāre sabr se sad inqalāb jāgte haiñ
hameñ ḳhud apnī samā.at pe sharam aatī hai
ki mimbaroñ se ab aise ḳhitāb jāgte haiñ
ye niiñd letī hai 'aḳhlāq' vo ḳhirāj ki bas
jo ḳhuub sote haiñ ho kar ḳharāb jāgte haiñ
kabhi jo aankhon mein pal-bhar ko KHwab jagte hain
to phir mahinon musalsal azab jagte hain
kisi ke lams ki tasir hai ki barson baad
meri kitabon mein ab bhi gulab jagte hain
burai kuchh to yaqinan hai be-hijabi mein
magar wo fitne jo zer-e-naqab jagte hain
sitam-shiaron hamara tum imtihan na lo
hamare sabr se sad inqalab jagte hain
hamein KHud apni samaat pe sharam aati hai
ki mimbaron se ab aise KHitab jagte hain
ye nind leti hai 'aKHlaq' wo KHiraj ki bas
jo KHub sote hain ho kar KHarab jagte hain
