shaer
fitna-e-ḳhufta jagā.e us ghaḌī kis kī majāl
qaid haiñ shahzādiyāñ koī nahīñ pursān-e-hāl
in ġharīboñ kī madad par koī āmāda nahīñ
ek shā.er hai yahāñ lekin vo shahzāda nahīñ
āhūoñ kī surmagīñ palkeñ fazā par hukmarāñ
chhā.ī haiñ arz o samā par āhinīñ sī jāliyāñ
duur se kohsār o vaadī par ye hotā hai gumāñ
uuñT haiñ baiThe hue utrā huā hai kārvāñ
yā asar haiñ āsmān-e-pīr par barsāt ke
ḳhema-e-bosīda meñ paivand haiñ bānāt ke
aur is ḳheme ke andar zindagī soī huī
tīrgī soī huī tābindagī soī huī
ai 'hafīz' in niiñd ke mātoñ kī manzil se nikal
kaam hai darpesh dām-e-dīda-o-dil se nikal
dīda-o-dil ko bhī ġhaflat ke shabistāñ se nikāl
ye jo ḳhāmoshī kī zanjīreñ haiñ in ko toḌ Daal
sub.h karne ke liye phir hāv-hū darkār hai
shukr kar sotī huī duniyā meñ tū bedār hai
fitna-e-KHufta jagae us ghaDi kis ki majal
qaid hain shahzadiyan koi nahin pursan-e-haal
in gharibon ki madad par koi aamada nahin
ek shaer hai yahan lekin wo shahzada nahin
aahuon ki surmagin palken faza par hukmaran
chhai hain arz o sama par aahinin si jaliyan
dur se kohsar o wadi par ye hota hai guman
unT hain baiThe hue utra hua hai karwan
ya asar hain aasman-e-pir par barsat ke
KHema-e-bosida mein paiwand hain banat ke
aur is KHeme ke andar zindagi soi hui
tirgi soi hui tabindagi soi hui
ai 'hafiz' in nind ke maton ki manzil se nikal
kaam hai darpesh dam-e-dida-o-dil se nikal
dida-o-dil ko bhi ghaflat ke shabistan se nikal
ye jo KHamoshi ki zanjiren hain in ko toD Dal
subh karne ke liye phir haw-hu darkar hai
shukr kar soti hui duniya mein tu bedar hai
