jahan mein koi haqiqat bhi be-hijab nahin

jahan mein koi haqiqat bhi be-hijab nahin
urus-e-marg ke munh par magar naqab nahin
talab hai husn-e-haqiqi ki fasl-e-gul bar-dosh
ye wo kitab hai jis mein khizan ka bab nahin


ishaara kun hai haqiqat ka bahr-e-be-payan
tayyunat ka hasil ba-juz habab nahin
ye aabshaar o gul o kohsar o mah-o-nujum
muzahire hain magar husn ba-naqab nahin


main be-piye teri aankhon ko badh ke chum na lun
rahin-e-minnat-e-mai masti-e-shabab nahin
fareb-e-wahm hai 'agha' ye khud-faramoshi
ba-hosh-bash nazar teri kaamyab nahin
