asir-e-jism hun miad-e-qaid la-malum

asir-e-jism hun mi'ad-e-qaid la-ma'lum
ye kis gunah ki padash hai khuda ma'lum
teri gali bhi mujhe yun to khinchti hai bahut
dar-asl hai meri mitti kahan ki kya ma'lum


kahan se laun ilahi wo durbin aankhen
ki ho ishaara-e-angusht-e-haq-numa ma'lum
safar zarur hai aur uzr ki majal nahin
maza to ye hai na manzil na rasta ma'lum


suni hikayat-e-hasti to darmiyan se suni
na ibtida ki khabar hai na intiha ma'lum
talab karen bhi to kya shai talab karen ai 'shad'
hamin ko aap nahin apna muddaa ma'lum
