khud mazedar tabiat hai to saman kaisa
zakhm-e-dil aap hain shorish pe namak-dan kaisa

hath wahshat mein na ponchhe to gareban kaisa
khar-e-sahra se na uljhe to wo daman kaisa

kucha-e-yar ko dawa hai ki jannat main hun
khuld kahte hain kise rauza-e-rizwan kaisa

usi mabud ka hai dair-o-haram mein jalwa
bahs kis baat ki hai gabr o musalman kaisa

wada-e-baada-e-athar ka bharosa kab tak
chal ke bhatti pe piyen jura-e-irfan kaisa

hum hue 'qais' hue 'wamiq' o 'farhad' hue
zulf-e-pur-kham ne kiya sab ko pareshan kaisa

dur ke dhol hain yusuf ki kahani sahab
kis ko malum hai hoga mah-e-kanan kaisa

tere qurban main itna to bata de qatil
meri gardan pe chala khanjar-e-burran kaisa

dil ke aaine mein taswir-e-sanam rakhta hai
nahin malum ki 'agha' hai musalman kaisa
