main shahri hun magar meri bayabani nahin jati
maiñ shahrī huuñ magar merī bayābānī nahīñ jaatī
junūñ kuchh bhī pahan le us kī uryānī nahīñ jaatī
nahīñ kuchh aur hogā vo mohabbat to nahīñ hogī
ki itnī raushnī itnī ba-āsānī nahīñ jaatī
khule haiñ saare darvāze hamāre qaid-ḳhāne ke
ki darvāze talak zanjīr-e-zindānī nahīñ jaatī
butoñ ko dekhte hī huuk sī ik dil meñ uThtī hai
dil-e-momin se yād-e-kufr-sāmānī nahīñ jaatī
uThā laatā huuñ maiñ bāzār se roz ik na.ī aafat
mire ghar se balā-e-sāz-o-sāmānī nahīñ jaatī
azal kā dāġh-e-hijr itnā hamāre dil pe raushan hai
ki apnī vasl kī arzī kahīñ maanī nahīñ jaatī
maiñ kab kā us kī hadd-e-dīd se bāhar nikal aayā
magar us kī taraf se merī nigarānī nahīñ jaatī
tamām a.asāb par taarī hai nasrī nazm duniyā kī
magar 'ehsās'-sāhab kī ġhazal-ḳhvānī nahīñ jaatī
main shahri hun magar meri bayabani nahin jati
junun kuchh bhi pahan le us ki uryani nahin jati
nahin kuchh aur hoga wo mohabbat to nahin hogi
ki itni raushni itni ba-asani nahin jati
khule hain sare darwaze hamare qaid-KHane ke
ki darwaze talak zanjir-e-zindani nahin jati
buton ko dekhte hi huk si ek dil mein uThti hai
dil-e-momin se yaad-e-kufr-samani nahin jati
uTha lata hun main bazar se roz ek nai aafat
mere ghar se bala-e-saz-o-samani nahin jati
azal ka dagh-e-hijr itna hamare dil pe raushan hai
ki apni wasl ki arzi kahin mani nahin jati
main kab ka us ki hadd-e-did se bahar nikal aaya
magar us ki taraf se meri nigarani nahin jati
tamam aasab par tari hai nasri nazm duniya ki
magar 'ehsas'-sahab ki ghazal-KHwani nahin jati
