Sharaf insan ko kab zill-e-huma deta hai

sharaf insan ko kab zill-e-huma deta hai
baadshahi jise deta hai KHuda deta hai

mera saqi wo mai-e-hosh-ruba deta hai
sare aalam ke bakheDon se chhuDa deta hai

kaun kahta hai ki hote hain KHush-andaz hasin
chahne wala trahdar bana deta hai

munimon ko nahin neamat mein ye lazzat hasil
sukha TukDa jo tawakkul ka maza deta hai

is mein sau tarah ki qudrat hai wo majbur nahin
chahta hai to muqaddar se siwa deta hai

tegh-e-qatil meri gardan se lipaT jati hai yun
jaise bichhDe ko gale koi mila deta hai

shor-e-KHalKHal tera ai sanam-e-hashr-KHiram
fitna-e-KHufta-e-mahshar ko jaga deta hai

qulzum-e-rahmat-e-haq josh pe jab aata hai
ghaT par kashti-e-ummid laga deta hai

ek hi shab ka hai mehman ki chaTak kar ghuncha
subh-dam kuch ka naqqara baja deta hai

kis qadar dil hai chuTila ki dam-e-sair-e-chaman
nala-e-bulbul-e-nashad rula deta hai

soz-e-furqat bhi kam o saiqa-e-qahr nahin
KHirman-e-hasti-e-ushshaq jala deta hai

husn-e-andaz bhi shayad koi mashshata hai
aadmi ko ye pari-zad bana deta hai

un jafa-karon ki ulfat nahin aasan kaisi
dil jo deta hai unhen jaan laDa deta hai

kya bashar roke kahe haal-e-dil-e-zar apna
qahqahon mein wo pari-zad uDa deta hai

baghban-e-gul-e-mazmun hai haqiqat mein 'qalaq'
jab ghazal paDhta hai ek bagh khila deta hai
