andaz-e-fikr ahl-e-jahan ka juda raha

andāz-e-fikr ahl-e-jahāñ kā judā rahā

vo mujh se ḳhush rahe to zamāna ḳhafā rahā

aalam hayāt kā na kabhī ek sā rahā

duniyā meñ zindagī kā tamāshā banā rahā

thā har qadam pe apne azā.em kā imtihāñ

har gaam hādsāt kā mahshar bapā rahā

phūloñ kī ahd gul meñ tijārat to ḳhuub kī

pūchhe koī ki dāman-e-gulchīñ meñ kyā rahā

bār-e-garāñ thā mere liye arsa-e-hayāt

jiine kā tere ġham se bahut hausla rahā

har fikr har amal kā hai niyyat pe inhisār

shaiḳh-e-haram bhī banda-e-hirs-o-havā rahā

duniyā amal kī raah meñ aage nikal ga.ī

zāhid to ḳhānqāh meñ mahv-e-duā rahā

ham laakh muskurā.e tabassum kī oT se

soz-e-ġham-e-hayāt magar jhāñktā rahā

'ejāz' ahl-e-jaur se nafrat rahī unheñ

har zulm un kī bazm meñ lekin ravā rahā

andaz-e-fikr ahl-e-jahan ka juda raha

wo mujh se KHush rahe to zamana KHafa raha

aalam hayat ka na kabhi ek sa raha

duniya mein zindagi ka tamasha bana raha

tha har qadam pe apne azaem ka imtihan

har gam hadsat ka mahshar bapa raha

phulon ki ahd gul mein tijarat to KHub ki

puchhe koi ki daman-e-gulchin mein kya raha

bar-e-garan tha mere liye arsa-e-hayat

jine ka tere gham se bahut hausla raha

har fikr har amal ka hai niyyat pe inhisar

shaiKH-e-haram bhi banda-e-hirs-o-hawa raha

duniya amal ki rah mein aage nikal gai

zahid to KHanqah mein mahw-e-dua raha

hum lakh muskurae tabassum ki oT se

soz-e-gham-e-hayat magar jhankta raha

'ejaz' ahl-e-jaur se nafrat rahi unhen

har zulm un ki bazm mein lekin rawa raha
