bataen kya amal ishq-e-haqiqi ka kahan tak hai
zamin kya aasman tak hai makan kya la-makan tak hai

tayyun se bari ho gar hai la-mahdud ka talib
ki hadd-e-mulk-o-duniya to wahin tak hai jahan tak hai

na ho aazad daur-e-charkh ki halqa-ba-goshi se
tera markuz dil-e-mao-shuma aur in-o-an tak hai

to bismillah ke gumbad mein kya hai moatakif zahid
sukun-e-khatir-e-muztar hawason se aman tak hai

pahunch sakta hai kab sachchi khushi ko aish-e-nafsani
ki wo to aab-e-ruknabaad wa ju-e-muliyan tak hai

hai shaikh-o-barahman ke din ki had dair-o-kaba tak
sawad-e-din-e-ishq-e-be-gharaz kaun-o-makan tak hai

yaqin se aur amal se pukhtagi pai aqidat ne
pahunch teri to ai nadan bas wahm-o-guman tak hai

haqiqat husn ki aaina tujh par kyunki ho jati
nazar teri to zulf-o-khal-o-abru-e-butan tak hai

jo hain mast-e-alast un ko khumar-o-sukr ka dar kya
nigah-e-tishna-kaam-e-ishq hi dast-e-mughan tak hai

hasir-e-ishq ko kab dakhl is mahfil mein hai 'kaifi'
bisat us ki faqat bain-o-buka aah-o-fughan tak hai
