kisi ke main libas-e-ariyat ko kya samajhta hun

kisī ke maiñ libās-e-āriyat ko kyā samajhtā huuñ

phaTe kapḌoñ ko apnī ḳhil.at-e-dībā samajhtā huuñ

jahāñ dīvāna koī apne saa.e se ulajhtā hai

use zulf-e-musalsal kā tirī saudā samajhtā huuñ

maiñ go majnūñ huuñ par matlab nahīñ kuchh koh-o-sahrā se

savād-e-shahr hī ko ḳhema-e-lailā samajhtā huuñ

hazāroñ bāġh-e-duniyā meñ tamāshe maiñ ne dekhe haiñ

do-rañgī ko zamāne kī gul-e-ra.anā samajhtā huuñ

nahīñ mai-ḳhāna-e-ālam meñ mujh sā mast-o-be-ḳhud hai

ki shor-e-hashr ko bhī qulqul-e-mīnā samajhtā huuñ

atā kī hai ḳhudā ne chashm-e-vahdat-e-bīñ mujhe jaise

jise qatra samajhtā thā use dariyā samajhtā huuñ

hameñ rah rah ke yaad aatā hai hañgām-e-itāb us kā

dikhā kar aañkh kahnā rah to jā kaisā samajhtā huuñ

ḳhat-e-mushkīñ ko raihāñ jāntā huuñ bāġh-e-ālam meñ

tirī chashm-e-siyah ko nargis-e-shahlā samajhtā huuñ

barābar ġhair ke bhī martaba merā nahīñ afsos

agarche aap kahte haiñ tujhe apnā samajhtā huuñ

maqām-e-imtihāñ meñ dekh lenā ek din sāhab

raqīb-e-rū-siyah Thahregā kyā itnā samajhtā huuñ

numūd itnī kahāñ thī shā.erī meñ merī ai 'ġhāfil'

meñ is shohrat ko faiz-e-sohbat-e-'goyā' samajhtā huuñ

kisi ke main libas-e-ariyat ko kya samajhta hun

phaTe kapDon ko apni KHilat-e-diba samajhta hun

jahan diwana koi apne sae se ulajhta hai

use zulf-e-musalsal ka teri sauda samajhta hun

main go majnun hun par matlab nahin kuchh koh-o-sahra se

sawad-e-shahr hi ko KHema-e-laila samajhta hun

hazaron bagh-e-duniya mein tamashe main ne dekhe hain

do-rangi ko zamane ki gul-e-rana samajhta hun

nahin mai-KHana-e-alam mein mujh sa mast-o-be-KHud hai

ki shor-e-hashr ko bhi qulqul-e-mina samajhta hun

ata ki hai KHuda ne chashm-e-wahdat-e-bin mujhe jaise

jise qatra samajhta tha use dariya samajhta hun

hamein rah rah ke yaad aata hai hangam-e-itab us ka

dikha kar aankh kahna rah to ja kaisa samajhta hun

KHat-e-mushkin ko raihan jaanta hun bagh-e-alam mein

teri chashm-e-siyah ko nargis-e-shahla samajhta hun

barabar ghair ke bhi martaba mera nahin afsos

agarche aap kahte hain tujhe apna samajhta hun

maqam-e-imtihan mein dekh lena ek din sahab

raqib-e-ru-siyah Thahrega kya itna samajhta hun

numud itni kahan thi shaeri mein meri ai 'ghafil'

mein is shohrat ko faiz-e-sohbat-e-'goya' samajhta hun
