faqat chand nusKHon ka hai wo safina

faqat chand nuskhon ka hai wo safina
chale aae hain jo ki sina-ba-sina
na un ko nabaatat se aagahi hai
na aslan khabar madiniyyat ki hai


na tashrih kei lai kisi par khuli hai
na ilm-e-tabii na chemistry hai
na pani ka ilm aur na ilm-e-hawa hai
marizon ka un ke nigahban khuda hai


na qanun mein un ke koi khata hai
na makhzan mein angusht rakhne kei ja hai
saidi mein likkha hai jo kuchh baja hai
nafisi ke har qaul par jaan fida hai


salaf likh gae jo qayas aur guman se
sahife hain utre hue aasman se
wo sher aur qasaed ka napak daftar
ufunat mein sandas se jo hai bad-tar


zamin jis se hai zalzale mein barabar
malak jis se sharmate hain aasman par
hua ilm-o-din jis se taraj sara
wo ilmon mein ilm-e-adab hai hamara


bura sher kahne kei gar kuchh saza hai
abas jhut bakna agar narawa hai
to wo mahkama jis ka qazi khuda hai
muqarrar jahan nek-o-bad kei saza hai


gunahgar wan chhut jaenge sare
jahannam ko bhar denge shair hamare
