Dilkashi nam ko bhi aalam-e-imkan mein nahin

dilkashi nam ko bhi aalam-e-imkan mein nahin
apne matlab ka koi phul gulistan mein nahin

wada-e-wasl pe khinchta hua han ka lahja
ek andaz hai kahne ka tere han mein nahin

aap kahte hain ki taqdir ki gardish mein rahe
manta hun ki ye dil gesu-e-pechan mein nahin

bas kisi ka nahin sayyaad KHata kya teri
aab-o-dana meri qismat ka gulistan mein nahin

KHak hone se bana chashm-e-falak ka surma
KHaksari jo nahin KHak bhi insan mein nahin

naqsh-e-tauhid hai har naqsh-e-jabin-e-sajda
kahin kabe ka to patthar dar-e-jaanan mein nahin

pahle hi lauT tha parwana teri mahfil par
ab ye sunte hain ki bulbul bhi gulistan mein nahin

pak-bazi ki taraf jab se jhuke hain 'kaifi'
baada-noshi ka maza mahfil-e-rindan mein nahin
