kyun aa gae hain bazm-e-zuhur-o-numud mein
aazad mard ho ke rahe hum quyud mein

salik hai kyun takhayyul-e-tark-e-wajud mein
naqsh-e-suwar ka rang hai tere shuhud mein

jo aa gae tajalli-e-tanzih-e-zat mein
mahdud kis tariq se honge hudud mein

raaz-e-darun-e-parda ze-rindan-e-mast purs
salik hai kyun hijab-e-shuhud-o-wajud mein

arini o lan-tarani ka sab raaz khul gaya
kya nashsha-e-gharib hai sharb-ul-yahud mein

ai gul jahan mein jin ko tera ishq ho gaya
wo khar se khatakte hain chashm-e-husud mein

mashhur-e-khalq jo hai wo maqbul-e-haq nahin
kyun ahmaqon ko naz hua hai numud mein

taat nahin hai wo ki jo ho be-huzur-e-qalb
ai shaikh kya dhara hai ruku-o-sujud mein

hai bul-ajab ye zamzama-e-saut-e-sarmadi
kis tarah aae mariz-e-guft-o-shunud mein

sufi ye sahw mahw hue sadd-e-bab-e-uns
kya imbisat kar-gah-e-hast-o-bud mein

tar-e-nafas se hai tan-e-khaki basa hua
hai ankabut lipti hui tar-o-pud mein

sufi yahi hai nur-e-sawad-e-hijab-e-qalb
zulmat hui jo sina-e-sozan ke dud mein

faiz-e-nigah-e-rahbar-e-kaamil ka hai asar
'saqi' hai mahw taat-e-rabb-e-wadud mein
