taqaddus-e-maab
'asrār' mubtalā hue ik din azaab meñ
ya.anī giraft-e-zāhid-e-izzat-ma.āb meñ
taqvā o zohd faqr tasavvuf muḳhizāt
kahtā thā dāstān magar ek baab meñ
ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā kuchh aisā biThāyā ki al-amāñ
din meñ zarā sukūn na rāhat thī ḳhvāb meñ
vo iḳhtilāj-e-qalb huā thā ki ek din
hāzir huā hakīm-e-matab kī janāb meñ
do-chār baar nabzeñ TaTolīñ to daf.atan
bole ki kuchh fasād hai shāyad luaab meñ
lāzim hai is maraz meñ ifāqa ke vāste
sandal ko ghis ke pīji.e fauran gulāb meñ
jab ye sunā to haath ke tote hī uḌ ga.e
sochā ki ab to maut kī aayā huuñ daab meñ
sab kā chukā ke qarz karūñ fikr-e-āqibat
jo umr hai guzārūñ husūl-e-savāb meñ
aate hī is ḳhayāl ke ghar-bār bech kar
saaqī ke paas pahle gayā iztirāb meñ
saaqī se jab talab kiyā khātā udhār kā
zāhid kā bhī hisāb thā mere hisāb meñ
'asrar' mubtala hue ek din azab mein
yani giraft-e-zahid-e-izzat-maab mein
taqwa o zohd faqr tasawwuf muKHizat
kahta tha dastan magar ek bab mein
KHauf-e-KHuda kuchh aisa biThaya ki al-aman
din mein zara sukun na rahat thi KHwab mein
wo iKHtilaj-e-qalb hua tha ki ek din
hazir hua hakim-e-matab ki janab mein
do-chaar bar nabzen TaTolin to dafatan
bole ki kuchh fasad hai shayad luab mein
lazim hai is maraz mein ifaqa ke waste
sandal ko ghis ke pijie fauran gulab mein
jab ye suna to hath ke tote hi uD gae
socha ki ab to maut ki aaya hun dab mein
sab ka chuka ke qarz karun fikr-e-aqibat
jo umr hai guzarun husul-e-sawab mein
aate hi is KHayal ke ghar-bar bech kar
saqi ke pas pahle gaya iztirab mein
saqi se jab talab kiya khata udhaar ka
zahid ka bhi hisab tha mere hisab mein
