aql-o-danish ko zamane se chhupa rakkha hai
aql-o-dānish ko zamāne se chhupā rakkhā hai
ḳhud ko dānista hī dīvāna banā rakhā hai
ghar kī vīrāniyāñ le jaa.e churā kar koī
isī ummīd pe darvāza khulā rakkhā hai
ban ga.e ūñche mahal un kī ibādat gāheñ
naam daulat kā jahāñ sab ne ḳhudā rakkhā hai
qābil-e-rashk se vo duḳhtar-e-muflis jis ne
tañg-dastī meñ bhī izzat ko bachā rakkhā hai
jis ke mahloñ meñ charāġhoñ kā na thā koī shumār
us kī turbat pe faqat ek diyā rakkhā hai
is se baḌh kar tirī yādoñ kī karūñ kyā tāzīm
terī yādoñ meñ zamāne ko bhulā rakkhā hai
surḳh-rū ho ga.iiñ tanhā.iyāñ merī 'dānā'
us ne kāñdhe pe mire dast-e-hinā rakkhā hai
aql-o-danish ko zamane se chhupa rakkha hai
KHud ko danista hi diwana bana rakha hai
ghar ki viraniyan le jae chura kar koi
isi ummid pe darwaza khula rakkha hai
ban gae unche mahal un ki ibaadat gahen
nam daulat ka jahan sab ne KHuda rakkha hai
qabil-e-rashk se wo duKHtar-e-muflis jis ne
tang-dasti mein bhi izzat ko bacha rakkha hai
jis ke mahlon mein charaghon ka na tha koi shumar
us ki turbat pe faqat ek diya rakkha hai
is se baDh kar teri yaadon ki karun kya tazim
teri yaadon mein zamane ko bhula rakkha hai
surKH-ru ho gain tanhaiyan meri 'dana'
us ne kandhe pe mere dast-e-hina rakkha hai
