    Tapak ai shama aansu ban ke parwane ki aankhon se

    sarapa dard hun hasrat bhari hai dastan meri

    ilahi phir maza kya hai yahan duniya mein rahne ka

    hayat-e-jawedan meri na marg-e-na-gahan meri

    mera rona nahin rona hai ye sare gulistan ka

    wo gul hun main KHizan har gul ki hai goya KHizan meri

    darin hasrat sara umrist afsun-e-jaras daram

    z faiz-e-dil tapidan-ha KHarosh-e-be-nafas daram

    nazar meri nahin mamnun-e-sair-e-arsa-e-hasti

    main wo chhoTi si duniya hun ki aap apni wilayat hun

    na sahba hun na saqi hun na masti hun na paimana

    main is mai-KHana-e-hasti mein har shai ki haqiqat hun

    mujhe raaz-e-do-alam dil ka aaina dikhata hai

    wahi kahta hun jo kuchh samne aankhon ke aata hai

    ata aisa bayan mujh ko hua rangin-bayanon mein

    ki baam-e-arsh ke tair hain mere ham-zabanon mein

    asar ye bhi hai ek mere junun-e-fitna-saman ka

    mera aaina-e-dil hai qaza ke raaz-danon mein

    rulata hai tera nazzara ai hindostan mujh ko

    ki ibrat-KHez hai tera fasana sab fasanon mein

    diya rona mujhe aisa ki sab kuchh de diya goya

    likha kalk-e-azal ne mujh ko tere nauha-KHwanon mein

    nishan-e-barg-e-gul tak bhi na chhoD us bagh mein gulchin

    teri qismat se razm-araiyan hain baghbanon mein

    chhupa kar aastin mein bijliyan rakkhi hain gardun ne

    anadil bagh ke ghafil na baiThen aashiyanon mein

    sun ai ghafil sada meri ye aisi chiz hai jis ko

    wazifa jaan kar paDhte hain tair bostanon mein

    watan ki fikr kar nadan musibat aane wali hai

    teri barbaadiyon ke mashware hain aasmanon mein

    zara dekh us ko jo kuchh ho raha hai hone wala hai

    dhara kya hai bhala ahd-e-kuhan ki dastanon mein

    ye KHamoshi kahan tak lazzat-e-fariyaad paida kar

    zamin par tu ho aur teri sada ho aasmanon mein

    na samjhoge to miT jaoge ai hindostan walo

    tumhaari dastan tak bhi na hogi dastanon mein

    yahi aain-e-qudrat hai yahi uslub-e-fitrat hai

    jo hai rah-e-amal mein gam-zan mahbub-e-fitrat hai

    huwaida aaj apne zaKHm-e-pinhan kar ke chhoDunga

    lahu ro ro ke mahfil ko gulistan kar ke chhoDunga

    jalana hai mujhe har sham-e-dil ko soz-e-pinhan se

    teri tarik raaton mein charaghan kar ke chhoDunga

    magar ghunchon ki surat hun dil-e-dard-ashna paida

    chaman mein musht-e-KHak apni pareshan kar ke chhoDunga

    pirona ek hi tasbih mein in bikhre danon ko

    jo mushkil hai to is mushkil ko aasan kar ke chhoDunga

    mujhe ai ham-nashin rahne de shaghl-e-sina-kawi mein

    ki main dagh-e-mohabbat ko numayan kar ke chhoDunga

    dikha dunga jahan ko jo meri aankhon ne dekha hai

    tujhe bhi surat-e-aina hairan kar ke chhoDunga

    jo hai pardon mein pinhan chashm-e-bina dekh leti hai

    zamane ki tabiat ka taqaza dekh leti hai

    kiya rifat ki lazzat se na dil ko aashna tu ne

    gizari umr pasti mein misal-e-naqsh-e-pa tu ne

    raha dil-basta-e-mahfil magar apni nigahon ko

    kiya bairun-e-mahfil se na hairat-ashna tu ne

    fida karta raha dil ko hasinon ki adaon par

    magar dekhi na us aaine mein apni ada tu ne

    tassub chhoD nadan dahr ke aaina-KHane mein

    ye taswiren hain teri jin ko samjha hai bura tu ne

    sarapa nala-e-bedad-e-soz-e-zindagi ho ja

    sapand-asa girah mein bandh rakkhi hai sada tu ne

    safa-e-dil ko kya aaraish-e-rang-e-talluq se

    kaf-e-aina par bandhi hai o nadan hina tu ne

    zamin kya aasman bhi teri kaj-bini pe rota hai

    ghazab hai satr-e-quran ko chalipa kar diya tu ne

    zaban se gar kiya tauhid ka dawa to kya hasil

    banaya hai but-e-pindar ko apna KHuda tu ne

    kuen mein tu ne yusuf ko jo dekha bhi to kya dekha

    are ghafil jo mutlaq tha muqayyad kar diya tu ne

    hawas baala-e-mimbar hai tujhe rangin-bayani ki

    nasihat bhi teri surat hai ek afsana-KHwani ki

    dikha wo husn-e-alam-soz apni chashm-e-pur-nam ko

    jo taDpata hai parwane ko rulwata hai shabnam ko

    zara nazzara hi ai bul-hawas maqsad nahin us ka

    banaya hai kisi ne kuchh samajh kar chashm-e-adam ko

    agar dekha bhi us ne sare aalam ko to kya dekha

    nazar aai na kuchh apni haqiqat jam se jam ko

    shajar hai firqa-arai tassub hai samar us ka

    ye wo phal hai ki jannat se nikalwata hai aadam ko

    na uTTha jazba-e-KHurshid se ek barg-e-gul tak bhi

    ye rifat ki tamanna hai ki le uDti hai shabnam ko

    phira karte nahin majruh-e-ulfat fikr-e-darman mein

    ye zaKHmi aap kar lete hain paida apne marham ko

    mohabbat ke sharar se dil sarapa nur hota hai

    zara se bij se paida riyaz-e-tur hota hai

    dawa har dukh ki hai majruh-e-tegh-e-arzu rahna

    ilaj-e-zaKHm hai aazad-e-ehsan-e-rafu rahna

    sharab-e-be-KHudi se ta-falak parwaz hai meri

    shikast-e-rang se sikha hai main ne ban ke bu rahna

    thame kya dida-e-giryan watan ki nauha-KHwani mein

    ibaadat chashm-e-shair ki hai har dam ba-wazu rahna

    banaen kya samajh kar shaKH-e-gul par aashiyan apna

    chaman mein aah kya rahna jo ho be-abru rahna

    jo tu samjhe to aazadi hai poshida mohabbat mein

    ghulami hai asir-e-imtiyaz-e-ma-o-tu rahna

    ye istighna hai pani mein nigun rakhta hai saghar ko

    tujhe bhi chahiye misl-e-habab-e-abju rahna

    na rah apnon se be-parwa isi mein KHair hai teri

    agar manzur hai duniya mein o begana-KHu rahna

    sharab-e-ruh-parwar hai mohabbat nau-e-insan ki

    sikhaya is ne mujh ko mast be-jam-o-subu rahna

    mohabbat hi se pai hai shifa bimar qaumon ne

    kiya hai apne baKHt-e-KHufta ko bedar qaumon ne

    bayaban-e-mohabbat dasht-e-ghurbat bhi watan bhi hai

    ye virana qafas bhi aashiyana bhi chaman bhi hai

    mohabbat hi wo manzil hai ki manzil bhi hai sahra bhi

    jaras bhi karwan bhi rahbar bhi rahzan bhi hai

    maraz kahte hain sab is ko ye hai lekin maraz aisa

    chhupa jis mein ilaj-e-gardish-e-charKH-e-kuhan bhi hai

    jalana dil ka hai goya sarapa nur ho jaana

    ye parwana jo sozan ho to sham-e-anjuman bhi hai

    wahi ek husn hai lekin nazar aata hai har shai mein

    ye shirin bhi hai goya be-sutun bhi kohkan bhi hai

    ujaDa hai tamiz-e-millat-o-ain ne qaumon ko

    mere ahl-e-watan ke dil mein kuchh fikr-e-watan bhi hai

    sukut-amoz tul-e-dastan-e-dard hai warna

    zaban bhi hai hamare munh mein aur tab-e-suKHan bhi hai

    nami-gardid ko tah rishta-e-mani riha kardam

    hikayat bud be-payan ba-KHamoshi ada kardam
