na is kā pujārī na us kā namāzī
nazar us kī hotī nahīñ imtiyāzī
faqat ek maqsad faqat ek bāġhī
shahīd-e-mohabbat na kāfir na ġhāzī
mohabbat kī rasmeñ na turkī na taazī
ġham-e-jāvedāñ hai ġham-e-avvalīñ hai
ye fahm-o-farāsat se bālā-tarīñ hai
ajab is kī duniyā ajab is kā diiñ hai
vo kuchh aur shai hai mohabbat nahīñ hai
sikhātī hai jo ġhaznavī ko ayāzī
yahī lā.eq-e-kalma-e-āfrīñ hai
ye īmān-e-kāmil mukammal yaqīñ hai
agarche azal se yahī dil-nashīñ hai
ye jauhar agar kār-farmā nahīñ hai
to haiñ ilm-o-hikmat faqat shīsha-bāzī
na is samt shashdar na us samt hairān
na is se pareshāñ na us se pashemāñ
na mauqūf-e-sahrā na vaqf-e-gulistāñ
na muhtāj-e-sultāñ na mar.ūb-e-sultāñ
mohabbat hai āzādī-o-be-niyāzī
na ehsās mānūs jāma-darī se
na idrāk mansūb jādūgarī se
mirā ġham hai baalā ġham-e-hamsarī se
mirā faqr behtar hai askandarī se
ye ādam-garī hai vo ā.īna-sāzī
na is ka pujari na us ka namazi
nazar us ki hoti nahin imtiyazi
faqat ek maqsad faqat ek baghi
shahid-e-mohabbat na kafir na ghazi
mohabbat ki rasmen na turki na tazi
gham-e-jawedan hai gham-e-awwalin hai
ye fahm-o-farasat se baala-tarin hai
ajab is ki duniya ajab is ka din hai
wo kuchh aur shai hai mohabbat nahin hai
sikhati hai jo ghaznawi ko ayazi
yahi laeq-e-kalma-e-afrin hai
ye iman-e-kaamil mukammal yaqin hai
agarche azal se yahi dil-nashin hai
ye jauhar agar kar-farma nahin hai
to hain ilm-o-hikmat faqat shisha-bazi
na is samt shashdar na us samt hairan
na is se pareshan na us se pasheman
na mauquf-e-sahra na waqf-e-gulistan
na muhtaj-e-sultan na marub-e-sultan
mohabbat hai aazadi-o-be-niyazi
na ehsas manus jama-dari se
na idrak mansub jadugari se
mera gham hai baala gham-e-hamsari se
mera faqr behtar hai askandari se
ye aadam-gari hai wo aaina-sazi
