meri rifat par jo hairan hai to hairani nahin
tu abhi insan ki azmat ka irfani nahin

aur ye kya hai zabt jo soz-e-pinhani nahin
aag raushan dil mein hai chehre pe tabani nahin

phul ke patte bikhar kar ek fasana kah gae
jis ki ho tartib mumkin wo pareshani nahin

mujh par ek ilzam hai qaid-e-qafas wo bhi ghalat
jis ki niyat mein ho aazadi wo zindani nahin

josh-e-girya us par aahon ki ye sailabi hawa
kaun si hai mauj-e-ashk aisi jo tufani nahin

raaz ye mujh par shikast-e-ghuncha-o-gul se khula
husn bhi to be-niyaz-e-chaak-damani nahin

khwahishon ke sath apne nafs ko bhi kar fana
zindagi mein is se behtar koi qurbani nahin

ittifaqat-e-mohabbat ne ye sabit kar diya
wo bhi peshani mein hai shayad jo pesh aani nahin

daulat-e-kaunain se bhi hai giran-tar ek sukun
dil ho mustaghni to parwa-e-jahanbani nahin

jawedani hun main ai duniya parastish kar meri
ye musallam hai ki tu fani hai main fani nahin

hauslon ke sath tai kar rah-e-dushwar-e-hayat
hal to hongi mushkilen lekin ba-asani nahin

dekh ai saqi qanaat ki tarab-afshaniyan
aab-e-kausar hai katore mein mere pani nahin

hai meri nazron mein anjam-e-bahaar-e-gulsitan
ab mere sar mein hawa-e-gul badamani nahin

bah chuka hai khun pani ki tarah insan ka
mo'tadil phir bhi mizaj-e-alam-fani nahin

kar na ai kunj-e-lahad zahmat mere aaram ki
main mujahid hun mujhe khu-e-tan-asani nahin

kar raha hun nazm ai 'simab' quran-e-majid
aur ye kya hai agar taid-e-yazdani nahin
