Dil ki kuduraten agar insan se dur hon

dil ki kuduraten agar insan se dur hon
sare nifaq gabr o musalman se dur hon

nazdik aa chuki hai sawari bahaar ki
barg-e-KHizan-rasida gulistan se dur hon

dil is qadar gudaz hai barson hi gham rahe
aansu jo apne dida-e-giryan se dur hon

miTta nahin nawishta-e-qismat kisi tarah
jauhar kabhi na KHanjar-e-burran se dur hon

fasl-e-bahaar aai hai kapDon ko phaDiye
dil ke buKHar dast-o-gareban se dur hon

chhiDkaw ka irada hai chashm-e-pur-ab ka
gard-o-ghubar kucha-e-jaanan se dur hon

ye tang kar raha hai to uljha rahe hain wo
daman ke paT pahle gareban se dur hon

wahsh o tuyur ko meri aahen karen halak
aab-o-giyah koh-o-bayaban se dur hon

mumkin nahin najat asiran-e-ishq ko
ye qaidi wo nahin ki jo zindan se dur hon

muddat ke baad aae hain sahra mein ai junun
do aable to KHar-e-mughilan se dur hon

gardish se chashm-e-yar ke 'atish' ajab nahin
jo jo amal ki gardish-e-dauran se dur hon
