ai meri ummid meri jaan-nawaz
ai meri dil-soz meri karsaz

meri sipar aur mere dil ki panah
dard-o-musibat mein meri takiya-gah

aish mein aur ranj main meri shafiq
koh mein aur dasht mein meri rafiq

katne wali gham-e-ayyam ki
thamne wali dil-e-nakaam ki

dil pa pada aan ke jab koi dukh
tere dilase se mila hum ko sukh

tu ne na chhoda kabhi ghurbat mein sath
tu ne uthaya na kabhi sar se hath

ji ko ho kabhi agar usrat ka ranj
khol diye tu nai qanaat ke ganj

tujh se hai mohtaj ka dil be-hiras
tujh se hai bimar ko jine ki aas

khatir-e-ranjur ka darman hai tu
aashiq-e-mahjur ka iman hai tu

nuh ki kashti ka sahaara thi tu
chah mein yusuf ki dil-ara thi tu

ram ke ham-rah chadhi ran mein tu
pandaw ke bhi sath phiri ban mein tu

tu ne sada qais ka bahlaya dil
tham liya jab kabhi ghabraya dil

ho gaya farhad ka qissa tamam
par tere fiqron pe raha khush mudam

tu ne hi ranjhe ki ye bandhwai aas
hir thi furqat mein bhi goya ki pas

hoti hai tu pusht pe himmat ki jab
mushkilen aasan nazar aati hain sab

hath mein jab aa ke liya tu ne hat
sat samundar se guzarna hai baat

sath mila jis ko tera do qadam
kahta hai wo ye hai arab aur ajam

ghode ki li apne jahan tu ne bag
samne hai tere gaya aur prag

azm ko jab deti hai tu mel jast
gumbad-e-gardun nazar aata hai past

tu ne diya aa ke ubhaara jahan
samjhe ki mutthi mein hai sara jahan

zarre ko khurshid mein de khapa
bande ko allah se de tu mila

donon jahan ki hai bandhi tujh se lad
din ki tu asl hai duniya ki jad

nekiyon ki tujh se hai qaem asas
tu na ho to jaen na neki ke pas

din ki tujh bin kahin pursish na ho
tu na ho to haq ki parastish na ho

khushk tha bin tere darakht-e-amal
tu ne lagae hain ye sab phul phal

dil ko lubhati hai kabhi ban ke hur
gah dikhati hai sharab-e-tahur

nam hai sidra kabhi tuba tera
roz nirala hai tamasha tera

kausar o tasnim hai ya salsabil
jalwe hain sab tere ye be-qal-o-qil

rup hain har panth mein tere alag
hai kahin firdaus kahin hai sowarg

chhut gae sare qarib aur baid
ek na chhuti to na chhuti umid

tere hi dam se kate jo din the sakht
tere hi sadqe se mila taj-o-takht

khakiyon ki tujh se hai himmat buland
tu na ho to kaam hon duniya ke band

tujh se hi aabaad hai kaun-o-makan
tu na ho to hai bhi barham jahan

koi padta phirta hai bahr-e-maash
hai koi iksir ko karta talash

ek tamanna mein hai aulad ki
ek ko dil-dar ki hai lau lagi

ek ko hai dhan jo kuchh hath aae
dhum se aulad ki shadi rachae

ek ko kuchh aaj agar mil gaya
kal ki hai ye fikr ki khaenge kya

qaum ki bahbud ka bhuka hai ek
jin mein ho un ke liye anjam-e-nek

ek ko hai tishnagi-e-qurb-e-haq
jis ne kiya dil se jigar tak hai shaq

jo hai gharaz us ki nai justuju
lakh agar dil hain to lakh aarzu

tujh se hain dil sab ke magar bagh bagh
gul koi hone nahin pata charagh

sab ye samajhte hain ki pai murad
kahti hai jab tu ki ab aai murad

wada tera rast ho ya ho darogh
tu ne diye hain use kya kya farogh

wade wafa karti hai go chand tu
rakhti hai har ek ko khursand tu

bhati hai sab ko teri lait-o-lal
tu ne kahan sikhi hai ye aaj kal

talkh ko tu chahe to shirin kare
bazm-e-aza ko tarab-agin kare

aane na de ranj ko muflis ke pas
rakhe ghani us ko rahe jis ke pas

yas ka pati hai jo tu kuchh lagaw
saikdon karti hai utar aur chadhao

aane nahin deti dilon par hiras
tutne deti nahin talib ki aas

jin ko mayassar na ho kamli phati
khush hain tawaqqoa pe wo zar-baft ki

chatni se roti ka hai jin ki banaw
baithe pakate hain khayali polaw

panw mein juti nahin par hai ye zauq
ghoda jo sabza ho to nila ho tauq

faiz ke khole hain jahan tu ne bab
dekhte hain jhonpade mahlon ke khwab

tere karishme hain ghazab dil-fareb
dil mein nahin chhodte sabr-o-shakeb

tujh se muhawwis ne jo shura liya
phunk diya kan mein kya jaane kya

dil se bhulaya zan o farzand ko
lag gaya ghun nakhl-e-baromand ko

khane se pine se hua sard ji
aisi kuchh iksir ki hai lau lagi

din ki hai fikr na duniya se kaam
dhun hai yahi raat din aur subh sham

dhonkni hai baith ke jab dhonkna
shah ko samajhta hai ek adna gada

paise ko jab taw pe deta hai taw
puchhta yaron se hai sone ka bhaw

kahta hai jab hanste hain sab dekh kar
rah gai ek aanch ki baqi kasar

hai isi dhund mein wo aasuda-haal
tu ne diya aql pe parda sa dal

tol kar gar dekhiye us ki khushi
koi khushi is ko na pahunche kabhi

phirte hain mohtaj kai tira-bakht
jan ke pairon mein tha kabhi taj-o-takht

aaj jo bartan hain to kal ghar karo
malti hai mushkil se inhen nan-e-jau

taire siwa khak nahin in ke pas
sari khudai mein hai le de ke aas

phule samate nahin is aas par
sahib-e-alam unhen kahiye agar

khate hain is aas pa qasmen ajib
jhute ko ho takht na ya-rab nasib

hota hai naumidiyon ka jab hujum
aati hai hasrat ki ghata jhum jhum

lagti hai himmat ki kamar tutne
hausla ka lagta hai ji chhutne

hoti hai be-sabri o taqat mein jang
arsa-e-alam nazar aata hai tang

ji mein ye aata hai ki sam khaiye
phad ke ya kapde nikal jaiye

baithne lagta hai dil aawe ki tarah
yas daraati hai chhalawe ki tarah

hota hai shikwa kabhi taqdir ka
udta hai khaka kabhi tadbir ka

thanti hai gardun se ladai kabhi
hoti hai qismat ki hansai kabhi

jata hai qabu se aakhir dil nikal
karti hai in mushkilon ko tu hi hal

kan mein pahunchi teri aahat jo hain
rakht-e-safar yas nai bandha wahin

sath gai yas ke pazhmurdagi
ho gai kafur sab afsurdagi

tujh mein chhupa rahat-e-jaan ka hai bhed
chhodiyo 'haali' ka na sath ai umid
