dalael se khuda tak aql-e-insani nahin jati
wo ek aisi haqiqat hai jo pahchani nahin jati

ise to rah mein arbab-e-himmat chhod dete hain
kisi ke sath manzil tak tan-asani nahin jati

kise milti hain wo aankhen mohabbat mein jo roti hain
mubarak hain wo aansu jin ki arzani nahin jati

ubharta hi nahin dil dub kar bahr-e-mohabbat mein
jab aa jati hai is dariya mein tughyani nahin jati

gadai mein bhi mujh par shan-e-istighna barasti hai
mere sar se hawa-e-taj-e-sultani nahin jati

muqim-e-dil hain wo arman jo pure nahin hote
ye wo aabaad ghar hai jis ki virani nahin jati

kuchh aisa partaw-e-husn-e-azal ne kar diya raushan
qayamat tak to ab zarron ki tabani nahin jati

kuchh aise barguzida log bhi hain jin ke hathon se
chhuda kar apna daman pak-damani nahin jati

hujum-e-yas mein bhi zindagi par muskuraata hun
musibat mein bhi meri khanda-peshani nahin jati
