hai kya kyon aur kaise chhod de in sab sawalon ko
sanbhal ja aql dil ab jaanta hai teri chaalon ko

aqidat mein haqiqat gum hui aisi ki ab aksar
mujassam dekhte hain hum khud apne hi khayalon ko

zaban-bandi ka mausam hai chaman mein kya karen ja kar
har ek bulbul se kahna rok rakkhe apne nalon ko

aqidat fikr ko taqlid par majbur karti hai
muqallid dil bana deta hai kitne aql walon ko

bachega kya hamare pas apni zindagani se
agar tafriq kar den hum tumhaare chand salon ko

na darwaza khula us ka na hi aaya gaya koi
tumhaare baad bas ab dekhte hain dil ke jalon ko

koi rauzan koi khidki koi rasta kahin par ho
andhere dhundte hain har taraf din ke ujalon ko

pade hain aql pe jo har aqidat-mand salik ki
na jaane kaise khologe 'hidayat' aise talon ko
