tauba-nama
uf vo raavī kā kināra vo ghaTā chhā.ī huī
shaam ke dāman meñ sabze par bahār aa.ī huī
vo shafaq ke bādaloñ meñ nīl-gūñ surḳhī kā rañg
aur raavī kī talā.ī nuqra.ī lahroñ meñ jañg
shah-dare meñ aam ke peḌoñ pe koyal kī pukār
Dāliyoñ par sabz pattoñ surḳh phūloñ kā nikhār
vo gulābī aks meñ Duubī huī chashm-e-hubāb
aur nashe meñ mast vo sarmast maujoñ ke raubāb
vo havā ke sard jhoñke shoḳhiyāñ karte hue
bin pii.e bā-mast kar dene kā dam bharte hue
duur se zālim papīhe kī sadā aatī huī
pai-ba-pai kam-baḳht pī-pī kah kar uksātī huī
aur vo maiñ ThanDī ThanDī ret par baiThā huā
donoñ hāthoñ se kaleja thaam kar baiThā huā
shaiḳh-sāhib! sach to ye hai un dinoñ piitā thā maiñ
un dinoñ piitā thā ya.anī jin dinoñ jiitā thā meñ
ab vo aalam hī kahāñ hai mai piye muddat huī
ab maiñ tauba kyā karūñ tauba kiye muddat huī
uf wo rawi ka kinara wo ghaTa chhai hui
sham ke daman mein sabze par bahaar aai hui
wo shafaq ke baadalon mein nil-gun surKHi ka rang
aur rawi ki talai nuqrai lahron mein jang
shah-dare mein aam ke peDon pe koyal ki pukar
Daliyon par sabz patton surKH phulon ka nikhaar
wo gulabi aks mein Dubi hui chashm-e-hubab
aur nashe mein mast wo sarmast maujon ke raubab
wo hawa ke sard jhonke shoKHiyan karte hue
bin pie ba-mast kar dene ka dam bharte hue
dur se zalim papihe ki sada aati hui
pai-ba-pai kam-baKHt pi-pi kah kar uksati hui
aur wo main ThanDi ThanDi ret par baiTha hua
donon hathon se kaleja tham kar baiTha hua
shaiKH-sahib! sach to ye hai un dinon pita tha main
un dinon pita tha yani jin dinon jita tha mein
ab wo aalam hi kahan hai mai piye muddat hui
ab main tauba kya karun tauba kiye muddat hui
