na damanon mein yahan KHak-e-rahguzar bandho

na dāmanoñ meñ yahāñ ḳhāk-e-rahguzar bāñdho

misāl nik.hat-e-gul mahmil-e-safar bāñdho

is aa.ine meñ koī aks yuuñ na ubhregā

nazar se silsila-e-dānish-e-nazar bāñdho

jo sāhibān-e-basīrat the be-libās hue

fazīlatoñ kī ye dastār kis ke sar bāñdho

safīr-e-jāñ huuñ hisār-e-badan meñ kyā Thahrūñ

chaman-parasto na ḳhushbū ke bāl-o-par bāñdho

na TuuT jaa.e ki nāzuk hai rishta-e-anfās

tanāb-e-ḳhema-e-hastī sambhāl kar bāñdho

kahāñ har ek shanāvar guhar ba-kaf niklā

samundaroñ se tavaqqo na is qadar bāñdho

har ek haath meñ hai sañg sad-hazār-āshob

phir aise vaqt meñ shāḳhoñ se kyuuñ samar bāñdho

namak chhiḌakte raho ye bhī hai masīhā.ī

ye kyā zarūrī ki marham hī zaḳhm par bāñdho

phire hai kab se pareshāñ ye zaḳhm-ḳhurda hiran

junūñ ko dasht se le jā ke apne ghar bāñdho

gayā vo daur ki jab barf barf the alfāz

girah meñ ab ye dahakte hue sharar bāñdho

adab nahīñ hai rayāzī kā mas.ala yaaro

har ek shaḳhs pe kyuuñ tohmat-e-hunar bāñdho

ye sinf ābrū-e-fann-e-shā.irī hai 'fazā'

ġhazal kaho to mazāmīn mo'atabar bāñdho

na damanon mein yahan KHak-e-rahguzar bandho

misal nikhat-e-gul mahmil-e-safar bandho

is aaine mein koi aks yun na ubhrega

nazar se silsila-e-danish-e-nazar bandho

jo sahiban-e-basirat the be-libas hue

fazilaton ki ye dastar kis ke sar bandho

safir-e-jaan hun hisar-e-badan mein kya Thahrun

chaman-parasto na KHushbu ke baal-o-par bandho

na TuT jae ki nazuk hai rishta-e-anfas

tanab-e-KHema-e-hasti sambhaal kar bandho

kahan har ek shanawar guhar ba-kaf nikla

samundaron se tawaqqo na is qadar bandho

har ek hath mein hai sang sad-hazar-ashob

phir aise waqt mein shaKHon se kyun samar bandho

namak chhiDakte raho ye bhi hai masihai

ye kya zaruri ki marham hi zaKHm par bandho

phire hai kab se pareshan ye zaKHm-KHurda hiran

junun ko dasht se le ja ke apne ghar bandho

gaya wo daur ki jab barf barf the alfaz

girah mein ab ye dahakte hue sharar bandho

adab nahin hai rayazi ka masala yaro

har ek shaKHs pe kyun tohmat-e-hunar bandho

ye sinf aabru-e-fann-e-shairi hai 'faza'

ghazal kaho to mazamin mo'atabar bandho
