sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain

tere ishq ki intiha chahta hun

kabhi ai haqiqat-e-muntazar nazar aa libas-e-majaz mein

KHird-mandon se kya puchhun ki meri ibtida kya hai

majnun ne shahr chhoDa to sahra bhi chhoD de

gesu-e-tabdar ko aur bhi tabdar kar

jab ishq sikhata hai aadab-e-KHud-agahi

na tu zamin ke liye hai na aasman ke liye

aflak se aata hai nalon ka jawab aaKHir

gulzar-e-hast-e-bud na begana-war dekh

anokhi waza hai sare zamane se nirale hain

nigah-e-faqr mein shan-e-sikandari kya hai

dil soz se Khaali hai nigah pak nahin hai

agar kaj-rau hain anjum aasman tera hai ya mera

phir charagh-e-lala se raushan hue koh o daman

wo harf-e-raaz ki mujhko sikha gaya hai junun

pareshan ho ke meri KHak aaKHir dil na ban jae

aql go aastan se dur nahin

KHirad ke pas KHabar ke siwa kuchh aur nahin

la phir ek bar wahi baada o jam ai saqi

tu abhi rahguzar mein hai qaid-e-maqam se guzar

aalam-e-ab-o-KHak-o-baad sirr-e-ayan hai tu ki main

musalman ke lahu mein hai saliqa dil-nawazi ka

KHudi wo bahr hai jis ka koi kinara nahin

zamana aaya hai be-hijabi ka aam didar-e-yar hoga

fitrat ko KHirad ke ru-ba-ru kar

asar kare na kare sun to le meri fariyaad

wahi meri kam-nasibi wahi teri be-niyazi

digar-gun hai jahan taron ki gardish tez hai saqi

saKHtiyan karta hun dil par ghair se ghafil hun main

na aate hamein isMein takrar kya thi

nala hai bulbul-e-shorida tera KHam abhi

hazar KHauf ho lekin zaban ho dil ki rafiq

ek danish-e-nurani ek danish-e-burhani

har shai musafir har chiz rahi

kushada dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyaz kare

apni jaulan-gah zer-e-asman samjha tha main

ye payam de gai hai mujhe baad-e-subh-gahi

KHudi ho ilm se mohkam to ghairat-e-jibril

tujhe yaad kya nahin hai mere dil ka wo zamana

ya rab ye jahan-e-guzaran KHub hai lekin

zahir ki aankh se na tamasha kare koi

mata-e-be-baha hai dard-o-soz-e-arzumandi

sama sakta nahin pahna-e-fitrat mein mera sauda

ki haq se farishton ne iqbaal ki ghammazi

meri nawa-e-shauq se shor harim-e-zat mein

ejaz hai kisi ka ya gardish-e-zamana

na taKHt-o-taj mein ne lashkar-o-sipah mein hai

ishq se paida nawa-e-zindagi mein zer-o-bam

DhunD raha hai farang aish-e-jahan ka dawam
