Maqsad-e-husn hai kya chashm-e-basirat ke siwa

maqsad-e-husn hai kya chashm-e-basirat ke siwa
wajh-e-taKHliq-e-bashar kya hai mohabbat ke siwa

KHun-e-dil thukte phirte hain jahan mein shair
kya mila shahr-e-suKHan mein unhen shohrat ke siwa

aaj bhi ilm-o-fan-o-sher-o-adab hain pamal
ba-kamalon ko mila kuchh na ihanat ke siwa

hath mein jin ke KHushamad ka hai gadla kashkol
un ko eazaz bhi mil jaenge izzat ke siwa

raat din ranj hai is baat ka sab ko KHaliq
arsa-e-hashr mein kya laen nadamat ke siwa

ye mashinon ki chaka-chaund ye daur-e-alat
is mein har chiz muqaddar hai murawwat ke siwa

ghota-zan hum rahe kasrat ke samundar mein fuzul
kaun ye pyas bujhae teri wahdat ke siwa

kya zamane mein diya tu ne aqidat ka maal
hum ko ranj-o-gham-o-andoh-o-musibat ke siwa

hum jo apnaen zamane mein tawakkul yarab
bab khul jaenge hum par teri rahmat ke siwa

jab utarti hon sar-e-arsh se aayat-e-junun
kaun ho KHaliq-e-ashaar mashiyyat ke siwa

kitne hatim mile 'gulzar' zamane mein hamein
wo ki har chiz ke wasif the saKHawat ke siwa
