farogh-e-husn mein kya be-sabaat dil ka wajud
wo aaftab ye shabnam wo aag ye barud

zahe madarij-o-irfan-o-lutf-e-bazm-e-shuhud
hamin hain abd hamin abadiyat hamin mabud

wo bar bar mohabbat se zikr-e-khair karen
shahid-e-gham ki yahi fatiha yahi hai darud

sawad-e-sham-e-mohabbat hai dud-e-be-atish
tulu-e-subh-e-tamanna hai aatish-e-be-dud

ba-lutf-o-aish-o-nishat-e-jahan mashu nazan
darin sara-e-adam aashna che-hast wa che-bud

nigah-e-naz ke jauhar ye pae kya mumkin
fughan bhi tegh hai lekin hai tegh-e-zang-alud

uthi ghata ki tarah chha gai faza ki tarah
hudud-e-husn mein tasir-e-ishq-e-na-mahdud

khuda ke jalwa-e-qudrat ka puchhna kya hai
jidhar jidhar nazar utthi udhar udhar maujud

tariq-e-ishq mein kyun bar-e-gham uthae na dil
isi pahad ke niche hai manzil-e-maqsud

tule hain phir mah-o-anjum mujhe satane par
dil-e-hazin wahi ek nala-e-falak-paimud

ghazab hua ki muqaddar mujhe wahan laya
jahan sukun bhi napaid lutf bhi mafqud

raha ye apni hayat-o-mamat ka aalam
kabhi wajud adam tha kabhi adam tha wajud

nigah-e-naz mein dil ka kuchh eqtidar nahin
agar abhi hai ye maqbul to abhi mardud

hawas-o-hosh farishton ke jis se rah na saken
faza mein gunj raha hai wo naghma-e-daud

badhae wadi-e-hasrat mein kya qadam koi
ki khizr-e-rah bhi gum aur rah bhi masdud

farogh-e-husn taghayyur-pasand kuchh bhi nahin
ziya-e-kirmak-e-shab-tab ki hai koi numud

yahan ada-e-faraez ki suraten hain juda
namaz-e-ishq mein wajib nahin ruku-o-sujud

payam-e-marg bhi pahuncha nawed-e-zist ke sath
jo ittifaq se amrit mila to zahr-alud

wafa-o-ishq ki dushwariyan khuda ki panah
ajab ajab hain sharait ajab ajab hain quyud

tasarrufat-e-mohabbat ke sab karishme hain
nahin to kyun ho tasadduq ayaz par mahmud

adam se aae the hum aur phir adam ko gae
ye hai haqiqat-e-qabl-az-wajud-o-baad-e-wajud

tera qalaq bhi tera dard bhi tera gham bhi
hamare ishq ke itne gawah hain maujud

khuda kare ki na dawa karen khudai ka
suna to hoga buton ne natija-e-namrud

bashar ko quwwat-e-ehsas ne kharab kiya
jo ye na ho to jahan mein na phir ziyan hai na sud

rah-e-talab mein qadam dagmagae jate hain
sambhaal ya mere allah ya mere mabud

nigah kard zi-qahr-o-itab fitna-gare
ba-in tawaqquf-e-andak hawas-o-hosh-e-rabud

jamal-e-shahid-e-mutlaq se jis ko matlab hai
wo dil said nazar asad aarzu masud

janab-e-'nuh' ko tufan-e-gham se khauf nahin
ki ikhtiyar mein un ke hai kashti-e-maqsud
