masiyat rah ki diwar hui jati hai

ma'siyat rah ki diwar hui jati hai
ab dagar aur bhi pur-khar hui jati hai
wo qana'at hai tabi'at mein ki waqt-e-rukhsat
ek nazar hasil-e-didar hui jati hai


kaun hai naghma-sara aaj ki ruh-e-murda
raqs karti hai to sarshaar hui jati hai
'aql raqba hai ki aabaad hua jata hai
dil 'imarat hai ki mismar hui jati hai


do-rukhe-pan pe zara hone laga kya mail
ek hamiyyat hai ki bedar hui jati hai
kya hua tujh ko meri himmat-e-dushwar-pasand
zimmedari bhi giran-bar hui jati hai


kaun se dar pe patak aaun sar-e-na-ahlan
khud-pasandi bhi dil-azar hui jati hai
kal yahi tark-e-ta'alluq pe musir thi 'saqib'
aaj dekho yahi dil-dar hui jati hai
