jab parda-e-majaz haqiqat-numa bana
har zarra apni apni jagah aaina bana

rifat mein khak-e-dair-o-haram se siwa bana
wo aastan jo qibla-e-ahl-e-wafa bana

naghma bahaar abr shafaq phul chandni
sab jama ho gae to sarapa tera bana

sunte hi chaunk chaunk uthe ahl-e-karwan
nala ye kis ka tha jo sada-e-dara bana

uljha hua hai masala-e-zindagi mein ishq
ek dard-e-sar ye ban ke raha aur kya bana

dil chal pada tha rah-e-mohabbat mein be-daregh
manzil tak us gharib ka kya jaane kya bana

kya baat hai ki ishq ko rakhte hain log nam
ye ishq hi to hasil-e-har-muddaa bana

ai jaur-e-dost teri inayat ka shukriya
jo dard tu ne bakhsh diya wo dawa bana

tamir kar rahe the khayalon ka hum mahal
apna hi ghar bigad liya aur kya bana

allah re moajiza dil-e-ashiq ke khun ka
hathon tak un ke jate hi rang-e-hina bana

wo waswasa jo dil mein utha awwal-e-safar
kanta qadam qadam pe wahi rah ka bana

wamandgi-e-ashiq-e-mayus al-aman
baitha hua hai rah mein ek naqsh-e-pa bana

'muslim' jhukae ja ke kahan gardan-e-niyaz
har but ba-zom-e-khwesh hai goya khuda bana
