mohabbat tujh se wabasta rahegi jawedan meri
tere qissa ke pichhe pichhe hogi dastan meri

karengi dekhiye ulfat mein kya ruswaiyan meri
jahan suniye bas un ka tazkira aur dastan meri

qayamat mein bhi jhuti hogi sabit dastan meri
kahega ek jahan un ki wahan ya mehrban meri

bahut kuchh quwwat-e-guftar hai ai mehrban meri
magar han samne un ke nahin khulti zaban meri

qayamat ka to din hai ek aur qissa hai tulani
bhala din-bhar mein kyunkar khatm hogi dastan meri

wo ruswa-e-mohabbat hun rahunga yaad muddat tak
kahani ki tarah har ghar mein hogi dastan meri

sunaun us gul-e-khubi ko kyon main qalb ki haalat
bhala nazuk-dimaghi sunne degi dastan meri

kahun kuchh to shikayat hai rahun chup to musibat hai
bayan kyunkar karun kuchh go-mago hai dastan meri

akela manzil-e-mulk-e-adam mein zer-e-marqad hun
wo yusuf hun nahin kuchh chah karta karwan meri

ye dil mein hai jo kuchh kahna hai daman tham kar kah dun
wo mere hath pakdenge ki pakdenge zaban meri

phansaya dam mein sayyaad mujh ko khush-bayani ne
abas par tu ne katre qata karni thi zaban meri

na chhuta silsila wahshat ka jab tak jaan rahi tan mein
wo majnun hun ki takhte par hi utrin bediyan meri

mushabbak main bhi tir-e-ah se sine ko kar dunga
lahad jab tak banaega zamin par aasman meri

mohabbat but-kade ki dil mein hai aur qasd kaba ka
ab aage dekhiye taqdir le jae jahan meri

bhala wan kaun puchhega mujhe kuchh khair hai zahid
main hun kis mein ki pursish hogi roz-e-imtihan meri

tasadduq aap ke insaf ke main to na manunga
ki bose ghair ke hisse ke hon aur galiyan meri

musannif khub karta hai bayan tasnif ko apni
kisi din wo sunen meri zaban se dastan meri

fishaar-e-qabr ne pahlu dabae khub hi mere
naya mehman tha khatir kyon na karta mezban meri

qafas mein phadphadane par to par sayyaad ne katre
jo munh se bolta kuchh kat hi leta zaban meri

wo is surat se baad-e-marg bhi mujh ko jalati hain
dikha di shama ko taswir hath aai jahan meri

har ek jalse mein ab to hazrat-e-waiz ye kahte hain
agar ho band mai-khana to chal jae dukan meri

tariqa hai yahi kya ai lahad mehman ki khatir ka
main khud be-dam hun tudwati hai nahaq haddiyan meri

pasand aaya nahin ye roz ka jhagda raqibon ka
main dil se baz aaya jaan chhodo mehrban meri

hazaron hijr mein jaur-o-sitam tere uthae hain
jo himmat ho sanbhaal ek aah tu bhi aasman meri

ye kuchh apni zaban mein kahti hain jab panw ghista hun
khuda ki shan mujh se bolti hain bediyan meri

banaya ishq ne yusuf ko gard-e-karwan aakhir
ki pichhe dil gaya pahle gai tab-o-tawan meri

padhi ai 'bazm' jab main ne ghazal kat kat gae hasid
rahi har marka mein tez shamshir-e-zaban meri
