munkir-e-but hai ye jahil to nahin
ghar se waiz kahin fazil to nahin

tum na aasan ko aasan samho
warna mushkil meri mushkil to nahin

kya sambhaale mere dil ka langar
zulf hai kuchh wo salasil to nahin

aaj main dil ko juda karta hun
dekhiye aap ke qabil to nahin

zalzale mein jo zamin aati hai
ye bhi us shokh pe bismil to nahin

dard ko gurda tadapne ko jigar
hijr mein sab hain magar dil to nahin

haddiyan khane ko khata hai huma
sag-e-jaanan ke muqabil to nahin

bola wo gul jo suni aah 'sakhi'
aisi aawaz-e-anadil to nahin
