kufr bhi rukhsat hai iman raegan karne ke baad
karte hain zikr-e-khuda zikr-e-butan karne ke baad

ashk umand aate hain khud zabt-e-fughan karne ke baad
dard batta hai kisi ko raazdan karne ke baad

ikhtiyar-e-naz kya ho jabr-e-fitrat ka gila
si diye lab aag sine mein nihan karne ke baad

ban gai fitrat harif-e-shewa-e-izhaar-e-gham
hans raha hun ashk aankhon se rawan karne ke baad

saikdon afsane ek ek harf mein pata hun main
us hasin ka nam zeb-e-dastan karne ke baad

gulsitan ki har kali har phul tera hai magar
khar-o-khas se pak sehn-e-gulistan karne ke baad

mit gain 'natiq' gham-e-jaanan ki sari kulfaten
shaeri mein sharh-e-ranj-e-do-jahan karne ke baad
