musibat jis se zail ho rahi saman kar dega

musībat jis se zaa.il ho rahī sāmān kar degā

na ghabrānā ḳhudā sab mushkileñ āsān kar degā

ḳharābāt-e-jahāñ meñ kaun hai dil-soz saaqī sā

agar tarchhaT bhī denā hai to tujh ko chhān kar degā

qanā.at kī bhī daulat ho to istiġhnā nahīñ lāzim

jise tū naf.a samjhā hai yahī nuqsān kar degā

jagah dil meñ na de shauq-e-numū-dārī burī shai hai

yahī chaskā tujhe barbād ai nādān kar degā

kahūñgā aaj se maiñ sāhib-e-ejāz nāseh ko

agar mere dil-e-muztar kā itmīnān kar degā

tamannāoñ kī mehmānī tasavvur ke havāle kar

ki jo sāmāñ munāsib hai vahī sāmān kar degā

matā-e-be-bahā se kam na jaan ai chashm ashkoñ ko

yahī ronā tirā ḳhālī tirī dūkān kar degā

koī gar saltanat bhī de to vāpas kar na le ai dil

subuk har tarf tujh ko ġhair kā ehsān kar degā

kahe detā huuñ qātil le ḳhabar jāñ-bāz kī apne

fanā shauq-e-shahādat meñ kisī din jaan kar degā

tirī rū-poshiyāñ ai husn kab be-kār jā.eñgī

yahī parda ayaañ aalam meñ terī shaan kar degā

yaqīñ kar le ki ḳhud vo jalva-gar parde meñ hai varna

yahī zālim gumāñ terā tujhe hairān kar degā

ġhazal se kyā murād ai 'shād' hai arbāb-e-ma.anī kī

kisī din tasfiya us kā mirā dīvān kar degā

musibat jis se zail ho rahi saman kar dega

na ghabrana KHuda sab mushkilen aasan kar dega

KHarabaat-e-jahan mein kaun hai dil-soz saqi sa

agar tarchhaT bhi dena hai to tujh ko chhan kar dega

qanaat ki bhi daulat ho to istighna nahin lazim

jise tu nafa samjha hai yahi nuqsan kar dega

jagah dil mein na de shauq-e-numu-dari buri shai hai

yahi chaska tujhe barbaad ai nadan kar dega

kahunga aaj se main sahib-e-ejaz naseh ko

agar mere dil-e-muztar ka itminan kar dega

tamannaon ki mehmani tasawwur ke hawale kar

ki jo saman munasib hai wahi saman kar dega

mata-e-be-baha se kam na jaan ai chashm ashkon ko

yahi rona tera KHali teri dukan kar dega

koi gar saltanat bhi de to wapas kar na le ai dil

subuk har tarf tujh ko ghair ka ehsan kar dega

kahe deta hun qatil le KHabar jaan-baz ki apne

fana shauq-e-shahadat mein kisi din jaan kar dega

teri ru-poshiyan ai husn kab be-kar jaengi

yahi parda ayan aalam mein teri shan kar dega

yaqin kar le ki KHud wo jalwa-gar parde mein hai warna

yahi zalim guman tera tujhe hairan kar dega

ghazal se kya murad ai 'shad' hai arbab-e-mani ki

kisi din tasfiya us ka mera diwan kar dega
