Maine kaha ki da۔awa-e-ulfat magar ghalat

main ne kaha ki dawa-e-ulfat magar ghalat
kahne lage ki han ghalat aur kis qadar ghalat

tasir-e-ah-o-zari-e-shab-ha-e-tar jhuT
aawaza-e-qubul dua-e-sahar ghalat

soz-e-jigar se honT pe tabKHala iftira
shor-e-fughan se jumbish-e-diwar-o-dar ghalat

han sine se numaish dagh-e-darun darogh
han aankh se tarawish-e-KHun-e-jigar ghalat

aa jae koi dam mein to kya kuchh na kijiye
ishq-e-majaz-o-chashm-e-haqiqat-nigar ghalat

bos-o-kanar ke liye ye sab fareb hain
izhaar-e-pak-bazi-o-zauq-e-nazar ghalat

lo sahab aaftab kahan aur hum kahan
ahmaq banen hum is ko na samjhen agar ghalat

sine mein apne jaante ho tum ki dil nahin
hum ko samajhte ho ki hai in ki kamar ghalat

kahna ada ko tegh KHushamad ki baat hai
sine ko apni us ki samajhna sipar ghalat

miTTi mein kya dhari thi ki chupke se saunp di
jaan-e-aziz peshkash-e-nama-bar ghalat

puchho to koi mar ke bhi karta hai kuchh kalam
kahte ho jaan di hai sar-e-rah-guzar ghalat

hum puchhte phiren ki janaza kidhar gaya
marne ki apni rose uDani KHabar ghalat

aayat nahin hadis nahin jis ko maniye
hai nazm-o-nasr ahl-e-suKHan sar-basar ghalat

ye kuchh suna jawab mein 'nazim' sitam kiya
kyun ye kaha ki dawa-e-ulfat magar ghalat
