ye kaun kahta hai tu halqa-e-naqab mein aa?
ye kaun kahtā hai tū halqa-e-naqāb meñ aa?
shu.ūr-e-rañg-e-vafā ban ke āftāb meñ aa
fazā ko tū ne mo.attar kiyā to kyā hāsil?
mazā to jab hai ki phir lauT kar gulāb meñ aa
maiñ lafz lafz meñ tujh ko talāsh kartā huuñ
savāl meñ nahīñ aatā na aa javāb meñ aa
ghuTā ghuTā sā na rah tajraboñ ke mahbas meñ
sarīr-e-vaqt kī rāhoñ se tū kitāb meñ aa
jalā ke tāq-e-adam meñ masarratoñ ke charāġh
tū aarzū ke chamakte hue sarāb meñ aa
falak kī had se pare hai tirī uḌaan to kyaa?
magar kabhī kabhī dhartī ke is azaab meñ aa
nāniyat kā nasha ban ke chhā na mahfil par
utarnā hai to utar kar sharāb-e-nāb meñ aa
'karāmat' aaj zamāna jo de rahā hai daġhā
zarā sī baat pe hargiz na iztirāb meñ aa
ye kaun kahta hai tu halqa-e-naqab mein aa?
shuur-e-rang-e-wafa ban ke aaftab mein aa
faza ko tu ne moattar kiya to kya hasil?
maza to jab hai ki phir lauT kar gulab mein aa
main lafz lafz mein tujh ko talash karta hun
sawal mein nahin aata na aa jawab mein aa
ghuTa ghuTa sa na rah tajrabon ke mahbas mein
sarir-e-waqt ki rahon se tu kitab mein aa
jala ke taq-e-adam mein masarraton ke charagh
tu aarzu ke chamakte hue sarab mein aa
falak ki had se pare hai teri uDan to kya?
magar kabhi kabhi dharti ke is azab mein aa
naniyat ka nasha ban ke chha na mahfil par
utarna hai to utar kar sharab-e-nab mein aa
'karamat' aaj zamana jo de raha hai dagha
zara si baat pe hargiz na iztirab mein aa
