aalam-e-rozgar ko aasan bana diya
jo gham hua use gham-e-jaanan bana diya

main kaamyab-e-did bhi mahrum-e-did bhi
jalwon ke izhdiham ne hairan bana diya

yun muskurae jaan si kaliyon mein pad gai
yun lab-kusha hue ki gulistan bana diya

kuchh shorishon ki nazr hua khun-e-ashiqan
kuchh jam ke rah gaya use hirman bana diya

ai shaikh wo basit haqiqat hai kufr ki
kuchh qaid-e-rasm ne jise iman bana diya

kuchh aag di hawas mein to tamir-e-ishq ki
jab khak kar diya use irfan bana diya

kya kya quyud dahr mein hain ahl-e-hosh ke
aisi faza-e-saf ko zindan bana diya

ek barq thi zamir mein fitrat ke maujzan
aaj us ko husn o ishq ka saman bana diya

majburi-e-hayat mein raaz-e-hayat hai
zindan ko main ne rauzan-e-zindan bana diya

wo shorishen nizam-e-jahan jin ke dam se hai
jab mukhtasar kiya unhen insan bana diya

hum us nigah-e-naz ko samjhe the neshtar
tum ne to muskura ke rag-e-jaan bana diya

bulbul ba-ah-o-nala wa gul mast-e-rang-o-bu
mujh ko shahid-e-rasm-e-gulistan bana diya

kahte hain ek fareb-e-musalsal hai zindagi
us ko bhi waqf-e-hasrat-o-hirman bana diya

aalam se be-khabar bhi hun aalam mein bhi hun main
saqi ne is maqam ko aasan bana diya

us husn-e-karobar ko maston se puchhiye
jis ko fareb-e-hosh ne isyan bana diya
