shikwa-e-gham na masaib ka gila karte hain
rab ka har haal mein hum shukr ada karte hain

wo ibaadat nahin karte hain riya karte hain
jo dikhawe ke liye zikr-e-khuda karte hain

marifat ishq ki ho jati hai jin ko hasil
sajda-e-shauq wo teghon mein ada karte hain

khatm hogi na kabhi haq ke charaghon ki ziya
ye diye tund hawa mein bhi jala karte hain

apne begane ki tafriq nahin un ka shiar
jo bhale log hain wo sab ka bhala karte hain

wo bhi mujrim hain barabar ke sitamgar ki tarah
har sitam sah ke jo khamosh raha karte hain

jab laga rog mohabbat ka to mahsus hua
log kyon ishq ko aazar kaha karte hain

haq-bayani hai agar jurm to hum hain mujrim
zulm se ladna khata hai to khata karte hain

husn paida karo kirdar-o-amal mein apne
ghair ko dekho na 'ahsan' ki wo kya karte hain
