khayal guzre kahan kahan ka irada un ko ho gar yahin ka
na kuchh thikana mere guman ka na kuchh thikana mere yaqin ka

na shauq mujh ko hai hur-e-in ka na pas-e-waiz hai apne din ka
jo zikr karna hai gar yahin ka suna na jhagda kahin kahin ka

kharab ku-e-butan hai khilqat yahin se pate hain ranj-o-rahat
siphar-e-gardish mein kar na jurat ki daur aaya hai ab zamin ka

shahid hone ki ye tamanna na dil se niklegi dekh lena
uthae khanjar wo hath mein kya na yar sambhle jab aastin ka

hazar nale zaban pe lata hazar mahshar abhi dikhata
shab-e-judai agar na aata khayal us chashm-e-surmagin ka

nishan-e-pa-e-adu ne mara ki tere dar par nahin gawara
jhuke jo sajde ko sar hamara mitaen likkha hua jabin ka

kahun matalib sab apne ji ke ye shart kije ki han na kije
kaho nahin phir usi tarah se mujhe hai sunna nahin nahin ka

jo puchhe mujh sa hai koi bad-zan kaho na ahwal-e-wasl-e-dushman
ye main ne mana ki tum ho pur-fan ilaj kya chashm-e-sharmgin ka

milegi mahshar mein dad ab kya ada-e-matlab mein hun main uljha
bayan pahle hi kyun kiya tha tumhaare gesu-e-ambarin ka

bayan-e-lutf-e-adu jafa hai ye tum se sau-bar kah diya hai
phir ab ki sun lo nahin raha hai hamein bhi zabt aah-e-atshin ka

ajab hai 'salik' bhi rind-mashrab ki chhod baitha hai millaten sab
na manta hai kisi ka mazhab na hai ye paband apne din ka
