hua khema-zan karwan-e-bahaar
iram ban gaya daman-e-koh-sar
gul o nargis o sosan o nastaran
shahid-e-azal lala-khunin kafan
jahan chhup gaya parda-e-rang mein
lahu ki hai gardish rag-e-sang mein
faza nili nili hawa mein surur
thaharte nahin aashiyan mein tuyur
wo ju-e-kohistan uchakti hui
atakti lachakti sarakti hui
uchhalti phisalti sambhalti hui
bade pech kha kar nikalti hui
ruke jab to sil chir deti hai ye
pahadon ke dil chir deti hai ye
zara dekh ai saqi-e-lala-fam
sunati hai ye zindagi ka payam
pila de mujhe wo mai-e-parda-soz
ki aati nahin fasl-e-gul roz roz
wo mai jis se raushan zamir-e-hayat
wo mai jis se hai masti-e-kaenat
wo mai jis mein hai soz-o-saz-e-azal
wo mai jis se khulta hai raaz-e-azal
utha saqiya parda is raaz se
lada de mamule ko shahbaz se
zamane ke andaz badle gae
naya rag hai saz badle gae
hua is tarah fash raaz-e-farang
ki hairat mein hai shisha-baz-e-farang
purani siyasat-gari khwar hai
zamin mir o sultan se be-zar hai
gaya daur-e-sarmaya-dar gaya
tamasha dikha kar madari gaya
giran khwab chini sambhalne lage
himala ke chashme ubalne lage
dil-e-tur-e-sina-o-faran do-nim
tajalli ka phir muntazir hai kalim
musalman hai tauhid mein garam-josh
magar dil abhi tak hai zunnar-posh
tamaddun tasawwuf shariat-e-kalam
butan-e-ajam ke pujari tamam
haqiqat khurafat mein kho gai
ye ummat riwayat mein kho gai
lubhata hai dil ko kalam-e-khatib
magar lazzat-e-shauq se be-nasib
bayan is ka mantiq se suljha hua
lughat ke bakhedon mein uljha hua
wo sufi ki tha khidmat-e-haq mein mard
mohabbat mein yakta hamiyat mein fard
ajam ke khayalat mein kho gaya
ye salik maqamat mein kho gaya
bujhi ishq ki aag andher hai
musalman nahin rakh ka dher hai
sharab-e-kuhan phir pila saqiya
wahi jam gardish mein la saqiya
mujhe ishq ke par laga kar uda
meri khak jugnu bana kar uda
khirad ko ghulami se aazad kar
jawanon ko piron ka ustad kar
hari shakh-e-millat tere nam se hai
nafas is badan mein tere dam se hai
tadapne phadakne ki taufiq de
dil-e-murtaza soz-e-siddiq de
jigar se wahi tir phir par kar
tamanna ko sinon mein bedar kar
tere aasmanon ke taron ki khair
zaminon ke shab zinda-daron ki khair
jawanon ko soz-e-jigar bakhsh de
mera ishq meri nazar bakhsh de
meri naw girdab se par kar
ye sabit hai to is ko sayyar kar
bta mujh ko asrar-e-marg-o-hayat
ki teri nigahon mein hai kaenat
mere dida-e-tar ki be-khwabiyan
mere dil ki poshida betabiyan
mere nala-e-nim-shab ka niyaz
meri khalwat o anjuman ka gudaz
umangen meri aarzuen meri
ummiden meri justujuen meri
meri fitrat aaina-e-rozgar
ghazalan-e-afkar ka murgh-zar
mera dil meri razm-gah-e-hayat
gumanon ke lashkar yaqin ka sabaat
yahi kuchh hai saqi mata-e-faqir
isi se faqiri mein hun main amir
mere qafile mein luta de ise
luta de thikane laga de ise
dama-dam rawan hai yam-e-zindagi
har ek shai se paida ram-e-zindagi
isi se hui hai badan ki numud
ki shole mein poshida hai mauj-e-dud
giran garche hai sohbat-e-ab-o-gil
khush aai ise mehnat-e-ab-o-gil
ye sabit bhi hai aur sayyar bhi
anasir ke phandon se be-zar bhi
ye wahdat hai kasrat mein har dam asir
magar har kahin be-chugon be-nazir
ye aalam ye but-khana-e-shash-jihat
isi ne tarasha hai ye somnat
pasand is ko takrar ki khu nahin
ki tu main nahin aur main tu nahin
man o tu se hai anjuman-afrin
magar ain-e-mahfil mein khalwat-nashin
chamak us ki bijli mein tare mein hai
ye chandi mein sone mein pare mein hai
usi ke bayaban usi ke babul
usi ke hain kante usi ke hain phul
kahin us ki taqat se kohsar chur
kahin us ke phande mein jibrail o hur
kahin jaza hai shahin simab rang
lahu se chakoron ke aaluda chang
kabutar kahin aashiyane se dur
phadakta hua jal mein na-subur
fareb-e-nazar hai sukun o sabaat
tadapta hai har zarra-e-kaenat
thaharta nahin karwan-e-wajud
ki har lahz hai taza shan-e-wajud
samajhta hai tu raaz hai zindagi
faqat zuaq-e-parwaz hai zindagi
bahut us ne dekhe hain past o buland
safar us ko manzil se badh kar pasand
safar zindagi ke liye barg o saz
safar hai haqiqat hazar hai majaz
ulajh kar sulajhne mein lazzat use
tadapne phadakne mein rahat use
hua jab use samna maut ka
kathin tha bada thamna maut ka
utar kar jahan-e-makafat mein
rahi zindagi maut ki ghat mein
mazaq-e-dui se bani zauj zauj
uthi dasht o kohsar se fauj fauj
gul is shakh se tutte bhi rahe
isi shakh se phutte bhi rahe
samajhte hain nadan use be-sabaat
ubharta hai mit mit ke naqsh-e-hayat
badi tez jaulan badi zud-ras
azal se abad tak ram-e-yak-nafs
zamana ki zanjir-e-ayyam hai
damon ke ulat-pher ka nam hai
ye mauj-e-nafs kya hai talwar hai
khudi kya hai talwar ki dhaar hai
khudi kya hai raaz-darun-hayat
khudi kya hai bedari-e-kaenat
khudi jalwa badmast o khalwat-pasand
samundar hai ek bund pani mein band
andhere ujale mein hai tabnak
man o tu mein paida man o tu se pak
azal us ke pichhe abad samne
na had us ke pichhe na had samne
zamane ke dariya mein bahti hui
sitam us ki maujon ke sahti hui
tajassus ki rahen badalti hui
dama-dam nigahen badalti hui
subuk us ke hathon mein sang-e-giran
pahad us ki zarbon se reg-e-rawan
safar us ka anjam o aaghaz hai
yahi us ki taqwim ka raaz hai
kiran chand mein hai sharar sang mein
ye be-rang hai dub kar rang mein
ise wasta kya kam-o-besh se
nasheb o faraaz o pas-o-pesh se
azal se hai ye kashmakash mein asir
hui khak-e-adam mein surat-pazir
khudi ka nasheman tere dil mein hai
falak jis tarah aankh ke til mein hai
khudi ke nigah-ban ko hai zahr-nab
wo nan jis se jati rahe us ki aab
wahi nan hai us ke liye arjumand
rahe jis se duniya mein gardan buland
khudi fal-e-mahmud se darguzar
khudi par nigah rakh ayazi na kar
wahi sajda hai laiq-e-ehtimam
ki ho jis se har sajda tujh par haram
ye aalam ye hangama-e-rang-o-saut
ye aalam ki hai zer-e-farman-e-maut
ye aalam ye but-khana-e-chashm-o-gosh
jahan zindagi hai faqat khurd o nosh
khudi ki ye hai manzil-e-awwalin
musafir ye tera nasheman nahin
teri aag is khak-dan se nahin
jahan tujh se hai tu jahan se nahin
badhe ja ye koh-e-giran tod kar
tilism-e-zaman-o-makan tod kar
khudi sher-e-maula jahan us ka said
zamin us ki said aasman us ka said
jahan aur bhi hain abhi be-numud
ki khali nahin hai zamir-e-wajud
har ek muntazir teri yalghaar ka
teri shaukhi-e-fikr-o-kirdar ka
ye hai maqsad gardish-e-rozgar
ki teri khudi tujh pe ho aashkar
tu hai fatah-e-alam-e-khub-o-zisht
tujhe kya bataun teri sarnawisht
haqiqat pe hai jama-e-harf-e-tang
haqiqat hai aaina-e-guftar-e-zang
farozan hai sine mein sham-e-nafas
magar tab-e-guftar rakhti hai bas
agar yak-sar-e-mu-e-bartar param
farogh-e-tajalli ba-sozad param
