kab haq-parast zahid-e-jannat-parast hai
huron pe mar raha hai ye shahwat-parast hai
dil saf ho to chahiye mani-parast ho
aaina KHak saf hai surat-parast hai
durwesh hai wahi jo riyazat mein chust ho
tarik nahin faqir bhi rahat-parast hai
juz zulf sujhta nahin ai murgh-e-dil tujhe
KHuffash tu nahin hai ki zulmat-parast hai
daulat ki rakh na mar-e-sar-e-ganj se ummid
muzi wo dega kya ki jo daulat-parast hai
anqa ne gum kiya hai nishan nam ke liye
gum-gashta kaun kahta hai shohrat-parast hai
ye 'zauq' mai-parast hai ya hai sanam-parast
kuchh hai bala se lek mohabbat-parast hai
Ghazal
Kab haq-parast zahid-e-jannat-parast hai
Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
