ek hath pe aankhen rakkhi hain ek hath pe chehra hota hai
har gam madari baithe hain har waqt tamasha hota hai

ab kaun yahan majzub nahin bazar mein kya maujud nahin
irfan ki mala bikti hai ilham ka sauda hota hai

apni khalwat mein dhyan kahan khamoshi hai wijdan kahan
ek aandhi khak udati hai ek aag ka dariya hota hai

dil bahr saman aankhen raushan par rahguzar bhi to dekho
ek tang-nazar ki badli ne andher machaya hota hai

kal jhum ke boli kenchuli-e-ilhad aqide ke man se
ai rind tujhe do munhon ne kya jam pilaya hota hai

har but ke aage sajde par zindiqi ko majbur na kar
ye jehl-e-maraatib aakhir kis kafir ko gawara hota hai

hum log pasheman fitrat hain diwanon ki kab sunte hain
aankhon wale padh sakte hain diwar pe likkha hota hai
