Chehre par taak ronak ajab maloom hoti hai
Tohfe me mila sabkuchh shama maloom hoti hai
Tarana gungunae rooh ko chho le us pal ko
Fazal ka fash ho jaise pari maloom hoti hai
Ehsaan faramosh nahi asra ka khazina bhi nahi
Ehsaas hai mujhko ehsaan me jeena bhi nahi
Kasoor bhi nahi or aisi riyasat nahi meri
Tahjeeb tar karun aisi siyasat nahi meri
Faqat har pahlu ko tahjeeb ki nazro me utara
Jo bhi hoon aaj main yahan ye virasat nahi meri
Apne ho ya begane ho hain to isi mulk ke
Karun qaum se baghawat ye sarafat nahi meri
Hue the ek zamane me charche kai qaum ke
Woh thi siyasat chal per aqidat nahi meri
Dikha de rasta manzil ka wo ashabab mil jaye to kya
Chalein us raah me nazafat ka ek khawab mil jaye to kya
Fasana yun hua azhar Khila ek khawab bagho me
Khushboo bhari mazmaan me ek ghulab mil jaye to kya
Azal se aashna ka aaghaz kiya usne
Zehan me ek khawab aabad kiya usne
Maine to taamir talaf bhi na kiya
Ek din taamir sukhan shaad kiya usne
Parwaaz kar gayi raatein per baat kyun nahi jaati
Kat gayi har raat per ye raat kyun nahi jaati
Saaye ki tarah lipta hai is hayate safar me
Per waqt to zayad nahi aukaat kyun nahi jaati
Kar gaye chiraghon ko bhi fiza ki hawale
Bujhane ke waste koi aukaat kyun nahi aati
Bah gaye har khawan ankho se ashk ke sath
Is khawab ko dhone koi shailaab kyun nahi aati
Mousam hain ghani wadiyo sa ye suhana shaam
Is alam bhari shahar me barshat kyun nahi aati
Udi hai khaak basti me shahar me kyun hai sannata
Shahar se chalkar aati thi per ab wo kyun nahi aati
Use jab bhi dekhta hun dil ke darinchon se
Ankh lagti to hai magar chain ki neend kyun nahi aati
Gunahgaar hun uska jispe harkat ubaal rakha hai
Ukoobat ke bawajood bhi sabka khayaal rakha hai
Har pahlu ko nazar-andaaz usne kiya faham ke saath
Wo hai meri biwi jo ghar ko sambhaal rakha hai
Fitna nahi hai ab bhi bagh-e-chaman me koi
Jo tha mere tabiyat me sab kuchh nikaal rakha hai
Aadil hai bekasoor hai nazish nahi hai wo
Har shai me uska faisla uske aamaal rakha hai
Noor-e-tabassum ka sabab kuchh yun hua Azhar
Fakat usi ke waste khud ko khangaal rakha hai
Tohfe me mila sabkuchh shama maloom hoti hai
Tarana gungunae rooh ko chho le us pal ko
Fazal ka fash ho jaise pari maloom hoti hai
Ehsaan faramosh nahi asra ka khazina bhi nahi
Ehsaas hai mujhko ehsaan me jeena bhi nahi
