kam na thi sahra se kuchh bhi khana-virani meri
main nikal aaya kahan ai wae nadani meri

kya banaun main kisi ko rahbar-e-mulk-e-adam
ai khizr ye sar-zamin hai jaani-pahchani meri

jaan o dil par jitne sadme hain isi ke dam se hain
zindagi hai fil-haqiqat dushman-e-jaani meri

ibtida-e-ishq-e-gesu mein na thin ye uljhanen
badhte badhte badh gai aakhir pareshani meri

dasht-e-hasti mein rawan hun muddaa kuchh bhi nahin
kab hui mohtaj-e-laila qais-samani meri

aur tu waqif nahin koi dayar-e-ishq mein
hai junun shaida mera wahshat hai diwani meri

bagh-e-duniya mein yunhi ro hans ke katun chaar din
zindagi hai shabnam o gul ki tarah fani meri

baad-e-tark-e-arzu baitha hun kaisa mutmain
ho gai aasan har ek mushkil ba-asani meri

han khuda-lagti zara kah de tu ai husn-e-sanam
aashiqi auron ki achchhi ya ki hairani meri

lakht-e-dil khane ko hai khun-e-jigar pine ko hai
mezban-e-dahr ne ki khub mehmani meri

naghma-zan sahra mein ho jis tarah koi andalib
yun hai ai 'mahrum' sarhad mein ghazal-khwani meri
