main ki ek bani-adam
aalam-e-anasir ka
ek khamir-e-taza-dam
ek hayat mujh mein hai
kaenat mujh mein hai
meri saltanat hai sab
mujh se hai jahan qaem
main hun gardish-e-paiham
rau mein hai lahu har dam
kya khabar lahu kya hai
ek shorish-e-hasti
ek dakhli tufan
ek mahshar-e-dauran
kya khabar lahu kya hai
gardishen sitaron ki
gardish aasmanon ki
gardishen zaminon ki
gardishen zamanon ki
kya khabar lahu kya hai
ye nizam-e-kul jari
yani harkaten sari
sab lahu ki harakat hai
hai lahu ke dam se hi
amn bhi, mohabbat bhi
jang bhi, adawat bhi
shorish o baghawat bhi
kya khabar lahu kya hai
gardishen lahu ki jab
mujh mein shor karti hain
be-khudi ke nashshe mein
jism ka har ek khaliya
raqs karne lagta hai
aur phir ye hota hai
khushkiyon ka har zarra
paniyon ka har qatra
ek be-badan jazba
raqs karne lagta hai
is jinnon ke aalam mein
zakhm jag jate hain
dard chikh uthta hai
aur phir ye hota hai
ruh-o-dil ki wadi mein
naghme gunj uthte hain
naghma-ha-e-sehr-angez
be-karan fazaon mein
la-makan khalaon mein
soz aur fughan ban kar
mithi lai mein dhal dhal kar
jab bikharne lagte hain
aise sehr-alam mein
ek kaif-o-masti ka
nashsha chhane lagta hai
aur phir ye hota hai
kaenat ki har shai
gungunane lagti hai
aur phir wahi naghme
ruh-o-dil ke chhaalon ko
tar, tar zakhmon ko
nim-jaan karahon ko
lala-zar daghon ko
jagte phaphulon ko
mast loriyan de kar
khwab ke gulistan mein
lapata zamane tak
yun hi chhod dete hain
asl mein wahi naghme
dard ka mudawa hain!!
