sauda barae zindagi aasan kar diya

saudā barā.e zindagī āsān kar diyā

jo bik nahīñ rahā thā use daan kar diyā

puurī ġhazal kā lutf uThā hī nahīñ sake

matle' ne is qadar hameñ hairān kar diyā

mahfil meñ koī husn kā misra' agar milā

itne sunā.e she'r ki dīvān kar diyā

paanī pahan ke dauḌ lagā dī galī galī

dariyā ne khel khel meñ nuqsān kar diyā

ham toḌne ga.e the nasīhat kī boTiyāñ

order janāb-e-shaiḳh ne jalpān kar diyā

mushkil meñ paḌ ga.e tire chakkar meñ ḳhud magar

ḳhush haiñ ki rāsta tirā āsān kar diyā

sachchā.iyoñ ne ḳhvāb ke sab ḳheme Dhā diye

aur 'āshiqoñ ko be-sar-o-sāmān kar diyā

sauda barae zindagi aasan kar diya

jo bik nahin raha tha use dan kar diya

puri ghazal ka lutf uTha hi nahin sake

matle' ne is qadar hamein hairan kar diya

mahfil mein koi husn ka misra' agar mila

itne sunae she'r ki diwan kar diya

pani pahan ke dauD laga di gali gali

dariya ne khel khel mein nuqsan kar diya

hum toDne gae the nasihat ki boTiyan

order janab-e-shaiKH ne jalpan kar diya

mushkil mein paD gae tere chakkar mein KHud magar

KHush hain ki rasta tera aasan kar diya

sachchaiyon ne KHwab ke sab KHeme Dha diye

aur 'ashiqon ko be-sar-o-saman kar diya
