aarif azal se tera amal mominana tha
'ārif' azal se terā amal momināna thā
haañ ġham ye thā ki fikr kā Dhab kāfirāna thā
tū mujh se duur rah ke bhī mere qarīb thā
har chand tū ḳhudā kī tarah thā ḳhudā na thā
tanhā.ī-e-basīt kā vo ahd yaad kar
jab tere paas koī bhī tere sivā na thā
thā e'timād-e-husn se tū is qadar tahī
ā.īna dekhne kā tujhe hausla na thā
maiñ ne kiyā hai tujh ko tire rū-ba-rū magar
khīñch jā.egā mujhī se tū mujh ko patā na thā
baḳhshā hai tū ne merī vafā ko ḳhud apnā rañg
varna mirī nigāh meñ koī sila na thā
umr-e-azīz rā-navardī meñ kaT ga.ī
manzil ne dī ḳhabar ki musāfir chalā na thā
aa.ī hai gulsitāñ se mirī samt kis liye
jab naama mere naam koī ai sabā na thā
kunj-e-qafas meñ sar-ba-garebāñ paḌā huuñ maiñ
'ārif' chaman meñ koī mirā ham-navā na thā
'arif' azal se tera amal mominana tha
han gham ye tha ki fikr ka Dhab kafirana tha
tu mujh se dur rah ke bhi mere qarib tha
har chand tu KHuda ki tarah tha KHuda na tha
tanhai-e-basit ka wo ahd yaad kar
jab tere pas koi bhi tere siwa na tha
tha e'timad-e-husn se tu is qadar tahi
aaina dekhne ka tujhe hausla na tha
main ne kiya hai tujh ko tere ru-ba-ru magar
khinch jaega mujhi se tu mujh ko pata na tha
baKHsha hai tu ne meri wafa ko KHud apna rang
warna meri nigah mein koi sila na tha
umr-e-aziz ra-nawardi mein kaT gai
manzil ne di KHabar ki musafir chala na tha
aai hai gulsitan se meri samt kis liye
jab nama mere nam koi ai saba na tha
kunj-e-qafas mein sar-ba-gareban paDa hun main
'arif' chaman mein koi mera ham-nawa na tha
