dast-e-pur-shauq mile sab ko ye dastur nahin
dast-e-pur-shauq mile sab ko ye dastūr nahīñ
ḳhaar se varna yahāñ dāman-e-gul duur nahīñ
ishq bhī hāmil-e-āyāt-e-mohabbat na rahā
chashm-e-pur-āb nahīñ zaḳhm se dil chuur nahīñ
marg-e-ālim ko kahā jaatā hai marg-e-ālam
maut taarī hai zamāne pe jo mansūr nahīñ
haath hai ik pas-e-parda mirā dāman thāme
kabhī majbūr huuñ maiñ aur kabhī majbūr nahīñ
nuur tāroñ kā bujhā de na mirī ham-bazmī
mujh se zulmat mire saa.e kī tarah duur nahīñ
'mānī' ālām se ye kah ke chhuḌāyā dāman
merī qismat hai vahī jo unheñ manzūr nahīñ
dast-e-pur-shauq mile sab ko ye dastur nahin
KHar se warna yahan daman-e-gul dur nahin
ishq bhi hamil-e-ayat-e-mohabbat na raha
chashm-e-pur-ab nahin zaKHm se dil chur nahin
marg-e-alim ko kaha jata hai marg-e-alam
maut tari hai zamane pe jo mansur nahin
hath hai ek pas-e-parda mera daman thame
kabhi majbur hun main aur kabhi majbur nahin
nur taron ka bujha de na meri ham-bazmi
mujh se zulmat mere sae ki tarah dur nahin
'mani' aalam se ye kah ke chhuDaya daman
meri qismat hai wahi jo unhen manzur nahin
