zulf-e-daraaz se ye numayan hai ghaaliban

zulf-e-daraaz se ye numayan hai ghaaliban
bhaalu ki shakl ka koi insan hai ghaaliban
qaul o amal mein jis ke nazar aae kuchh tazad
wo maulwi nahin koi shaitan hai ghaaliban


gulshan mein to gulon ka kahin nam tak nahin
ye baghban ke hath mein ghoiyan hai ghaaliban
hota hai us ki shokhi-e-guftar par guman
lahbad nahin hai ye koi toiyan hai ghaaliban


hota nahin hai ab jo namak-pashiyon ka daur
bas khali khali un ka namak-dan hai ghaaliban
bulbul ghunudgi mein hai aur phul muzmahil
afyunchi ye sara gulistan hai ghaaliban


firqa-parastiyon ne khilae kuchh aise gul
samjhe ye log fasl-e-bahaaran hai ghaaliban
yun be-tahasha pine lage mai-kade mein shaikh
tharra bhi ab to baada-e-irfan hai ghaaliban


rah kar hamari gardish-e-qismat ke sath sath
chakkar mein khud bhi gardish-e-dauran hai ghaaliban
hurmat ka us ki aap ko waiz jo hai khayal
bint-e-inab huzur hi ki man hai ghaaliban


har samt jo jalajal-o-qarna ka shor hai
ghazi-miyan ke byah ka saman hai ghaaliban
ai 'shauq' har tarah ke nazar aa rahe hain husn
nakhkhas hi mein kucha-e-jaanan hai ghaaliban
