kafir banunga kufr ka saman to kijiye
pahle ghaneri zulf pareshan to kijiye
us naz-e-hosh ko ki hai musa pe tana-zan
ek din naqab ulaT ke pashiman to kijiye
ushshaq bandagan-e-KHuda hain KHuda nahin
thoDa sa narKH-e-husn ko arzan to kijiye
qudrat ko KHud hai husn ke alfaz ka lihaz
ifa bhi ho hi jaega paiman to kijiye
ta-chand rasm-e-jama-dari ki hikayaten
taklif yak-tabassum-e-pinhan to kijiye
yun sar na hogi 'josh' kabhi ishq ki muhim
dil ko KHirad se dast-o-gareban to kijiye
Ghazal
Kafir banunga kufr ka saman to kijiye
