mai-kade mein nashsha ki ainak dikhati hai mujhe
aasman mast o zamin mast o dar-o-diwar mast
Haidar Ali Aatish
main wo gham-dost hun jab koi taza gham hua paida
na nikla ek bhi mere siwa ummid-waron mein
Haidar Ali Aatish
main us gulshan ka bulbul hun bahaar aane nahin pati
ki sayyaad aan kar mera gulistan mol lete hain
Haidar Ali Aatish
libas-e-kaba ka hasil kiya sharaf us ne
jo ku-e-yar mein kali koi ghaTa aai
Haidar Ali Aatish
lage munh bhi chiDhane dete dete galiyan sahab
zaban bigDi to bigDi thi KHabar lije dahan bigDa
Haidar Ali Aatish
ku-e-jaanan mein bhi ab is ka pata milta nahin
dil mera ghabra ke kya jaane kidhar jata raha
Haidar Ali Aatish
kucha-e-yar mein ho raushni apne dam ki
kaba o dair karen gabr o musalman aabaad
Haidar Ali Aatish
kufr o islam ki kuchh qaid nahin ai 'atish'
shaiKH ho ya ki barhaman ho par insan howe
Haidar Ali Aatish
kuchh nazar aata nahin us ke tasawwur ke siwa
hasrat-e-didar ne aankhon ko andha kar diya
save visions of her, nothing comes to mind
the longing for her sight surely turned me blind
Haidar Ali Aatish
