aalam-e-imkan mein duniya ki hawa thi main na tha
ālam-e-imkāñ meñ duniyā kī havā thī maiñ na thā
jalvā-ārā sirf zāt-e-kibriyā thī maiñ na thā
kar diyā bedār jis ne sākinān-e-arsh ko
vo kisī dard-āshnā dil kī sadā thī maiñ na thā
muntashir jis ne kiyā thā un kī zulf-e-nāz ko
sach agar pūchho to vo bād-e-sabā thī maiñ na thā
khul gayā jo rāz-e-ulfat aaj ahl-e-bazm par
ye tumhārī mast nazroñ kī ḳhatā thī maiñ na thā
tañg aa kar gardish-e-ayyām se bahr-e-sujūd
vo to merī zindagī vaqf-e-duā thī maiñ na thā
had se jab 'qaisar' baḌhī un kī jafā-e-nā-ravā
jo ba-rū-e-kār aa.ī vo vafā thī maiñ na thā
aalam-e-imkan mein duniya ki hawa thi main na tha
jalwa-ara sirf zat-e-kibriya thi main na tha
kar diya bedar jis ne sakinan-e-arsh ko
wo kisi dard-ashna dil ki sada thi main na tha
muntashir jis ne kiya tha un ki zulf-e-naz ko
sach agar puchho to wo baad-e-saba thi main na tha
khul gaya jo raaz-e-ulfat aaj ahl-e-bazm par
ye tumhaari mast nazron ki KHata thi main na tha
tang aa kar gardish-e-ayyam se bahr-e-sujud
wo to meri zindagi waqf-e-dua thi main na tha
had se jab 'qaisar' baDhi un ki jafa-e-na-rawa
jo ba-ru-e-kar aai wo wafa thi main na tha
