ye gul bhi zinat-e-aghosh-e-dariya-e-qaza nikle

ye gul bhi zinat-e-aghosh-e-dariya-e-qaza nikle
jinhen hum ba-wafa samjhe the wo bhi bewafa nikle
natija justuju-e-shauq ka kya jaane kya nikle
pas-e-parda ye mumkin hai wahi rangin-ada nikle


karishma hai ye sara ishq ka hi warna kab mumkin
lahu ke qatre qatre se anal-haq ki sada nikle
mata-e-zindagi aaram-e-jaan sabr-o-qarar-e-dil
khuda ki shan hai hum un ko kya samjhe wo kya nikle


hue majruh barg-e-gul inhin kharon se gulshan ke
chaman ke pasban hi bani-e-jaur-o-jafa nikle
maaz-allah ilzam apni barbaadi ka ghairon par
dubone wale kashti ke jab apne nakhuda nikle


karun kis ka gila kahte hue bhi sharm aati hai
raqib afsos apne hi purane aashna nikle
hamare baad wo aae ayaadat ko to kya aae
kisi ke is tarah nikle agar arman to kya nikle


bahut mushkil hai 'aish' is daur mein nikle koi hasrat
ye kya kam hai koi daman agar apna bacha nikle
