chashm-e-mushtaq-e-mulaqat kahan thi pahle

chashm-e-mushtāq-e-mulāqāt kahāñ thī pahle

dil meñ tuġhyānī-e-jazbāt kahāñ thī pahle

baad nākāmī-e-bisyār huī hai hāsil

jazb-e-dil meñ ye karāmāt kahāñ thī pahle

hech hai jis kī nigāhoñ meñ matā.a-e-taskīñ

dil-e-betāb meñ ye baat kahāñ thī pahle

shauq-e-sādiq kī badaulat ye huī hai ai dost

dard se dil kī mulāqāt kahāñ thī pahle

jis ko dekho nazar aatā hai giraftār-e-alam

is qadar kasrat-e-āfāt kahāñ thī pahle

ab to bin-dekhe tire jiinā huā hai dūbhar

tere dīvāne meñ ye baat kahāñ thī pahle

roz girtā hī chalā jaatā hai aḳhlāq-e-jahāñ

'sūfī' ye sūrat-e-hālāt kahāñ thī pahle

chashm-e-mushtaq-e-mulaqat kahan thi pahle

dil mein tughyani-e-jazbaat kahan thi pahle

baad nakaami-e-bisyar hui hai hasil

jazb-e-dil mein ye karamat kahan thi pahle

hech hai jis ki nigahon mein mataa-e-taskin

dil-e-betab mein ye baat kahan thi pahle

shauq-e-sadiq ki badaulat ye hui hai ai dost

dard se dil ki mulaqat kahan thi pahle

jis ko dekho nazar aata hai giraftar-e-alam

is qadar kasrat-e-afat kahan thi pahle

ab to bin-dekhe tere jina hua hai dubhar

tere diwane mein ye baat kahan thi pahle

roz girta hi chala jata hai aKHlaq-e-jahan

'sufi' ye surat-e-haalat kahan thi pahle
