Falak deta hai jinko aish un ko gham bhi hote hain

falak deta hai jin ko aish un ko gham bhi hote hain
jahan bajte hain naqqare wahin matam bhi hote hain

gile shikwe kahan tak honge aadhi raat to guzri
pareshan tum bhi hote ho pareshan hum bhi hote hain

jo rakkhe chaaragar kafur duni aag lag jae
kahin ye zaKHm-e-dil sharminda-e-marham bhi hote hain

wo aankhen samri-fan hain wo lab isa-nafas dekho
mujhi par sehr hote hain mujhi par dam bhi hote hain

zamana dosti par in hasinon ki na itrae
ye aalam-dost aksar dushman-e-alam bhi hote hain

ba-zahir rahnuma hain aur dil mein bad-gumani hai
tere kuche mein jo jata hai aage hum bhi hote hain

hamare aansuon ki aabdari aur hi kuchh hai
ki yun hone ko raushan gauhar-e-shabnam bhi hote hain

KHuda ke ghar mein kya hai kaam zahid baada-KHwaron ka
jinhen milti nahin wo tishna-e-zamzam bhi hote hain

hamare sath hi paida hua hai ishq ai naseh
judai kis tarah se ho juda tawam bhi hote hain

nahin ghaTti shab-e-furqat bhi aksar hum ne dekha hai
jo baDh jate hain had se wo hi ghaT kar kam bhi hote hain

bachaun pairahan kya chaaragar main dast-e-wahshat se
kahin aise gareban daman-e-maryam bhi hote hain

tabiat ki kaji hargiz miTae se nahin miTti
kabhi sidhe tumhaare gesu-e-pur-KHam bhi hote hain

jo kahta hun ki marta hun to farmate hain mar jao
jo ghash aata hai to mujh par hazaron dam bhi hote hain

kisi ka wada-e-didar to ai 'dagh' bar-haq hai
magar ye dekhiye dil-shad us din hum bhi hote hain
