mutakabbir na ho zardar baDi mushkil hai
sab hai aasan ye sarkar baDi mushkil hai
kufr par KHalq hai tayyar baDi mushkil hai
din bilkul nahin darkar baDi mushkil hai
kaise TeDha na chale mar baDi mushkil hai
sidhi ho zulf-e-girah-dar baDi mushkil hai
aur honge wo koi dam mein aane wale
murgh-e-dana ho giraftar baDi mushkil hai
dil hai ghamnak to kaunain hai matam-KHana
rote hain sab dar-o-diwar baDi mushkil hai
log kahte hain ki dil us ko na dena lekin
baad iqrar kai inkar baDi mushkil hai
shoala-e-husn-e-butan phunk na de aalam ko
surKH hain phul se ruKHsar baDi mushkil hai
in dinon hazrat-e-yusuf ki wo na-qadri hai
nahin buDhiya bhi KHaridar buri mushkil hai
mil ke rahna hi nahin jaanta yan ab koi
jaan-o-dil mein bhi hai takrar baDi mushkil hai
na taraddud ka maza hai na sukun ki lazzat
kabhi wada kabhi inkar baDi mushkil hai
talib-e-sulh hun main aur nazar talib-e-jang
raat din laDne pe tayyar baDi mushkil hai
hae duniya mein kisi mein nahin itni bhi wafa
jitna kutta hai wafadar baDi mushkil hai
aaj tum tegh-ba-kaf ho to safa-chaT maidan
kaun marne pe ho tayyar baDi mushkil hai
jins-e-dil bechne ki hum ko zarurat 'parwin'
aur madum KHaridar baDi mushkil hai
Ghazal
Mutakabbir na ho zardar baDi mushkil hai
