zinhaar himmat apne se hargiz na haariye

zinhār himmat apne se hargiz na hāriye

shīshe meñ us parī ko na jab tak utāriye

auzā'a DhūñDh-DhāD ke yāroñ se sīkhiye

hote nahīñ jahān meñ ham se niyāriye

ai ashk-e-garm kar mire dil kā ilaaj kuchh

mash.hūr hai ki choT ko paanī se dhāriye

jo ahl-e-faqr-o-shāh khumhāre ke haiñ murīd

paale haiñ in sabhoñ ne kabūtar kumhāriye

galne kī daal yaañ nahīñ bas ḳhushka khā.iye

ai shaiḳh sāhab aap na sheḳhī baghāriye

kal jin ko khīre kakḌī kyā kos kaaT kar

aaj us parī ne in ko diye narm āriye

ho aab meñ kadar to Thahar jā.iye Tuk ek

dil meñ kudūrat aave to kyūñkar nithāriye

hai kaun sī ye vaz.a bhalā sochiye to aap

bāteñ udhar ko kiije idhar aañkh māriye

pūchhe haqīqat ek ne jo amn-e-rāh kī

to bole sar jhukā ke bachā vo madāriye

ḳhatra na aap kiije bas ab ḳhair shauq se

sonā uchhālte hue ghar ko sidhāriye

hai jo buland-hausla un kī ye chaal hai

kyā phir unheñ bigāḌiye jin ko sañvāriye

panDit jī ham meñ un meñ bhalā kaise hone ke

pothī ko apne kholiye kuchh to bichāriye

'inshā' koī javāb bhī denā nahīñ hameñ

bāñg-e-jaras kī tarah kahāñ tak pukāriye

zinhaar himmat apne se hargiz na haariye

shishe mein us pari ko na jab tak utariye

auza'a DhunDh-DhaD ke yaron se sikhiye

hote nahin jahan mein hum se niyariye

ai ashk-e-garm kar mere dil ka ilaj kuchh

mashhur hai ki choT ko pani se dhaariye

jo ahl-e-faqr-o-shah khumhaare ke hain murid

pale hain in sabhon ne kabutar kumhaariye

galne ki dal yan nahin bas KHushka khaiye

ai shaiKH sahab aap na sheKHi baghaariye

kal jin ko khire kakDi kya kos kaT kar

aaj us pari ne in ko diye narm aariye

ho aab mein kadar to Thahar jaiye Tuk ek

dil mein kudurat aawe to kyunkar nithaariye

hai kaun si ye waza bhala sochiye to aap

baaten udhar ko kije idhar aankh mariye

puchhe haqiqat ek ne jo amn-e-rah ki

to bole sar jhuka ke bacha wo madariye

KHatra na aap kije bas ab KHair shauq se

sona uchhaalte hue ghar ko sidhaariye

hai jo buland-hausla un ki ye chaal hai

kya phir unhen bigaDiye jin ko sanwariye

panDit ji hum mein un mein bhala kaise hone ke

pothi ko apne kholiye kuchh to bichaariye

'insha' koi jawab bhi dena nahin hamein

bang-e-jaras ki tarah kahan tak pukariye
