jis gham se dil ko rahat ho us gham ka mudawa kya mani
jab fitrat tufani thahri sahil ki tamanna kya mani

ishrat mein ranj ki aamezish rahat mein alam ki aalaish
jab duniya aisi duniya hai phir duniya duniya kya mani

khud shaikh-o-barahman mujrim hain ek kaam se donon pi na sake
saqi ki bukhl-pasandi par saqi ka shikwa kya mani

jalwon ka to ye dastur nahin pardon se kabhi bahar aaen
ai dida-e-be-taufiq tera ye zauq-e-tamasha kya mani

ikhlas-o-wafa ke sajdon ki jis dar par dad nahin milti
ai ghairat-e-dil ai azm-e-khudi us dar par sajda kya mani

ai sahib-e-naqd-o-nazar mana insan ka nizam nahin achchha
is ki islah ke parde mein allah se jhagda kya mani

har-lahza fuzun ho josh-e-amal ye farz hai farz ki rah pe chal
tadbir ka ye rona kaisa taqdir ka shikwa kya mani

maikhane mein tu ai waiz ab talqin ke kuchh uslub badal
allah ka banda banne ko jannat ka sahaara kya mani

izhaar-e-wafa lazim hi sahi ai 'arsh' magar fariyaaden kyun
wo baat jo sab par zahir hai us baat ka charcha kya mani
