Is aalam-e-hairat-o-ibrat mein kuchh bhi to sarab nahin hota

is aalam-e-hairat-o-ibrat mein kuchh bhi to sarab nahin hota
koi nind misal nahin banti koi lamha KHwab nahin hota

ek umr numu ki KHwahish mein mausam ke jabr sahe to khula
har KHushbu aam nahin hoti har phul gulab nahin hota

is lamha-e-KHair-o-shar mein kahin ek saat aisi hai jis mein
har baat gunah nahin hoti sab kar-e-sawab nahin hota

mere chaar taraf aawazen aur diwaren phail gain lekin
kab teri yaad nahin aati aur ji be-tab nahin hota

yahan manzar se pas-e-manzar tak hairani hi hairani hai
kabhi asl ka bhed nahin khulta kabhi sachcha KHwab nahin hota

kabhi ishq karo aur phir dekho is aag mein jalte rahne se
kabhi dil par aanch nahin aati kabhi rang KHarab nahin hota

meri baaten jiwan sapnon ki mere sher amanat naslon ki
main shah ke git nahin gata mujh se aadab nahin hota
