Na nazar ki dida-wari rahi na jigar ki be-jigari rahi

na nazar ki dida-wari rahi na jigar ki be-jigari rahi
magar ahl-e-dawa-e-shauq se teri barham-e-naz bhari rahi

kabhi jag uTha kabhi so gaya kabhi khil uTha kabhi kho gaya
dil-mast jam-e-jamal ko na KHabar na be-KHabari rahi

ye ajab hawas ka dayar hai yahan aam ana ka KHumar hai
mujhe apne sahra se pyar hai mujhe ras dar-ba-dari rahi

na dil-o-dimagh ko hai sukun na zaman makan ko qarar hai
main safar mein hun ki hazar mein hun meri zindagi safari rahi

kahin chand jugnu parinda rut kahin rang dhup dhanak nirt
mere daur mein dil-e-muztarib ye ghazal ki shishagari rahi

yahan makr bhi hai jadal bhi hai yahan bal ke sath mein chhal bhi hai
fan-e-tesha-gar ke kamal se zan-e-hila-gar hi khari rahi

ye tabassum-e-sar-e-anjuman wo adawaton ke dilon mein phan
nae daur mein nai nasl ki yahi shan-e-dida-wari rahi

jo KHuda-shanas nahin hua kabhi KHud-shanas na ho saka
wo jo munkirin-e-KHuda hue unhen KHud se be-KHabari rahi

mere fan ke zauq-e-latif ko sanad ahl-e-zauq ki chahiye
magar aaj tak sar-e-anjuman ye talab dhari ki dhari rahi

jo the taliban-e-ilaj-e-gham unhen gahri nind sula diya
na maraz raha na mariz hi ye ghazab ki chaaragari rahi
