jo mera hosh ka aalam hai be-KHudi to nahin

jo merā hosh kā aalam hai be-ḳhudī to nahīñ

maiñ jis ko apnā samajhtā huuñ ajnabī to nahīñ

ḳhudā-garī kā ye māhir kuchh aur hī shai hai

tum aadmī jise kahte ho aadmī to nahīñ

ye aur baat hai mahrūm-e-iltifāt huuñ maiñ

tire karam ke ḳhazāne meñ kuchh kamī to nahīñ

subūt miltā hai us se kisī ta.alluq kā

kamāl-e-barhamī-e-dost dushmanī to nahīñ

nigāh-o-dil meñ bhī lāzim hai ik muravvat-o-kaif

numūd-e-āriz-o-gesū hī dilbarī to nahīñ

nuzūl-e-barq hai shāyad ye āshiyānoñ par

tū raushnī jise samjhā hai raushnī to nahīñ

tumhāre chehre pe āsār haiñ ḳhushī ke magar

jo mere chehre se zāhir hai vo ḳhushī to nahīñ

piye sharāb ibādat-guzār hue ai shaiḳh

magar huzūr ye shāyān-e-bandagī to nahīñ

na jaane kyuuñ mire dil ko yaqīñ nahīñ aatā

jo tū ne jalva dikhāyā hai aarzī to nahīñ

sunā hai tauba se hotā hai tāza-tar īmāñ

hazār shukr ki ye āriza abhī to nahīñ

tabāhiyoñ ke liye musta.id haiñ ahl-e-jahāñ

ye āgahī kahīñ tauhīn-e-āgahī to nahīñ

bas ek marg-e-musalsal bas ek rañj-e-davām

kuchh aur shai hai ye ai 'arsh' zindagī to nahīñ

jo mera hosh ka aalam hai be-KHudi to nahin

main jis ko apna samajhta hun ajnabi to nahin

KHuda-gari ka ye mahir kuchh aur hi shai hai

tum aadmi jise kahte ho aadmi to nahin

ye aur baat hai mahrum-e-iltifat hun main

tere karam ke KHazane mein kuchh kami to nahin

subut milta hai us se kisi talluq ka

kamal-e-barhami-e-dost dushmani to nahin

nigah-o-dil mein bhi lazim hai ek murawwat-o-kaif

numud-e-ariz-o-gesu hi dilbari to nahin

nuzul-e-barq hai shayad ye aashiyanon par

tu raushni jise samjha hai raushni to nahin

tumhaare chehre pe aasar hain KHushi ke magar

jo mere chehre se zahir hai wo KHushi to nahin

piye sharab ibaadat-guzar hue ai shaiKH

magar huzur ye shayan-e-bandagi to nahin

na jaane kyun mere dil ko yaqin nahin aata

jo tu ne jalwa dikhaya hai aarzi to nahin

suna hai tauba se hota hai taza-tar iman

hazar shukr ki ye aariza abhi to nahin

tabahiyon ke liye mustaid hain ahl-e-jahan

ye aagahi kahin tauhin-e-agahi to nahin

bas ek marg-e-musalsal bas ek ranj-e-dawam

kuchh aur shai hai ye ai 'arsh' zindagi to nahin
