nafs namrud hai kya hona hai
shirk maujud hai kya hona hai
kashf maqsud hai kya hona hai
haal mafqud hai kya hona hai
sajde hote hain kise o ghafil
kaun mabud hai kya hona hai
chhoD duniya-e-dani ka pichha
is se kya sud hai kya hona hai
hast-o-bud-e-tan-e-KHaki ek din
nist-nabud hai kya hona hai
saf hota ki ho az-KHud rafta
rah masdud hai kya hona hai
dekhiye hashr ko kaise guzre
roz-e-mahud hai kya hona hai
chahiye masjid-e-aqsa mein namaz
dair masjud hai kya hona hai
man-o-salwa jise hum samjhe hain
zahr-alud hi kya hona hai
garmi-e-ishq-o-nihaal-e-hasti
aatish-o-ud hai kya hona hai
jauhar-e-ruh tan-e-KHaki mein
kya gul-andud hai kya hona hai
jo ki mansur ke pesh aaya tha
wahi maujud hai kya hona hai
KHud parasti ki buri hai surat
abd mabud hai kya hona hai
ai 'saba' dekhiye wo parda-nashin
kis se KHush-nud hai kya hona hai
Ghazal
Nafs namrud hai kya hona hai
