duniya hai ahl-e-ishq ko sab se buri jagah

duniya hai ahl-e-'ishq ko sab se buri jagah
dhundhen khuda ke waste koi nai jagah
tha ek hasin gunah usi ki saza ke taur
aabaad ki gai hai ye bekar si jagah


kya kah ke us ne dil se nikala hai hae hae
ab kya tamam 'umr rahoge isi jagah
mahauliyat ka ye tawazun hai kul mazaq
insan kahin kahin hain darinde sabhi jagah


chup-chap yunhi nar-e-hawas mein pade raho
hogi na is bahisht se achchhi koi jagah
ab mere ai’takaf pe wo bhi hain mo'tariz
aa ja chuke hain khud jo har achchhi buri jagah


ek dusre se dil to hamare bhare nahin
duniya ne ab bhi gher rakhi hai badi jagah
