surat se isko behtar surat nahin hai koi
sūrat se is kī behtar sūrat nahīñ hai koī
dīdār-e-yār sī bhī daulat nahīñ hai koī
āñkhoñ ko khol agar tū dīdār kā hai bhūkā
chaudah tabaq se bāhar ne.amat nahīñ hai koī
sābit tire dahan ko kyā mantiqī kareñge
aisī dalīl aisī hujjat nahīñ hai koī
ye kyā samajh ke kaḌve hote haiñ aap ham se
pī jā.egā kisī ko sharbat nahīñ hai koī
maiñ ne kahā kabhī to tashrīf laao bole
ma.azūr rakhiye vaqt-e-fursat nahīñ hai koī
ham kyā kaheñ kisī se kyā hai tarīq apnā
maz.hab nahīñ hai koī millat nahīñ hai koī
dil le ke jaan ke bhī saa.il jo ho to hāzir
hāzir jo kuchh hai us meñ hujjat nahīñ hai koī
ham shā.eroñ kā halqa halqa hai ārifoñ kā
nā-āshnā-e-ma.anī sūrat nahīñ hai koī
dīvānoñ se hai apne ye qaul us parī kā
ḳhākī o ātishī se nisbat nahīñ hai koī
hazhda hazār aalam dam-bhar rahā hai terā
tujh ko na chāhe aisī ḳhilqat nahīñ hai koī
nāzāñ na husn par ho mehmāñ hai chaar din kā
be-e'tibār aisī daulat nahīñ hai koī
jaañ se aziiz dil ko rakhtā huuñ aadmī huuñ
kyūñ-kar kahūñ maiñ mujh ko hasrat nahīñ hai koī
yuuñ bad kahā karo tum yuuñ maal kuchh na samjho
ham sā bhī ḳhair-ḳhvāh-e-daulat nahīñ hai koī
maiñ pāñch vaqt sajda kartā huuñ is sanam ko
mujh ko bhī aisī-vaisī ḳhidmat nahīñ hai koī
mā-o-shumā kah-o-mah kartā hai zikr terā
is dāstāñ se ḳhālī sohbat nahīñ hai koī
shahr-e-butāñ hai 'ātish' allāh ko karo yaad
kis ko pukārte ho hazrat nahīñ hai koī
surat se is ki behtar surat nahin hai koi
didar-e-yar si bhi daulat nahin hai koi
aankhon ko khol agar tu didar ka hai bhuka
chaudah tabaq se bahar neamat nahin hai koi
sabit tere dahan ko kya mantiqi karenge
aisi dalil aisi hujjat nahin hai koi
ye kya samajh ke kaDwe hote hain aap hum se
pi jaega kisi ko sharbat nahin hai koi
main ne kaha kabhi to tashrif lao bole
mazur rakhiye waqt-e-fursat nahin hai koi
hum kya kahen kisi se kya hai tariq apna
mazhab nahin hai koi millat nahin hai koi
dil le ke jaan ke bhi sail jo ho to hazir
hazir jo kuchh hai us mein hujjat nahin hai koi
hum shaeron ka halqa halqa hai aarifon ka
na-ashna-e-mani surat nahin hai koi
diwanon se hai apne ye qaul us pari ka
KHaki o aatishi se nisbat nahin hai koi
hazhda hazar aalam dam-bhar raha hai tera
tujh ko na chahe aisi KHilqat nahin hai koi
nazan na husn par ho mehman hai chaar din ka
be-e'tibar aisi daulat nahin hai koi
jaan se aziz dil ko rakhta hun aadmi hun
kyun-kar kahun main mujh ko hasrat nahin hai koi
yun bad kaha karo tum yun mal kuchh na samjho
hum sa bhi KHair-KHwah-e-daulat nahin hai koi
main panch waqt sajda karta hun is sanam ko
mujh ko bhi aisi-waisi KHidmat nahin hai koi
ma-o-shuma kah-o-mah karta hai zikr tera
is dastan se KHali sohbat nahin hai koi
shahr-e-butan hai 'atish' allah ko karo yaad
kis ko pukarte ho hazrat nahin hai koi
