SuKHan ki dilkashi soz-e-dili lagti nahin mujhko

suKHan ki dilkashi soz-e-dili lagti nahin mujh ko
ye laffazi to ji ki bekali lagti nahin mujh ko

ye sach hai quwwat-e-tasKHir hoti hai mohabbat mein
zafar-yabi magar harf-e-jali lagti nahin mujh ko

kisi shai ki kami lagti hai in afsurda rahon mein
usi ka shahr lekin wo gali lagti nahin mujh ko

KHizan-baKHti mein kab shaKH-e-chaman par phul khilte hain
hansi ahbab ki zinda-dili lagti nahin mujh ko

ba-zahir bagh-o-bazar-o-makan sab lahlahate hain
ye hariyali magar phuli-phali lagti nahin mujh ko

kisi aab-e-rawan par KHubsurat naw kaghaz ki
wahi duniya hai lekin kyun bhali lagti nahin mujh ko

mulamma-kariyan ashiya mein bhi insan mein bhi hain
zamin fitrat ke sanche mein Dhali lagti nahin mujh ko

qalandar KHanqah-o-madrasa mein mast hai lekin
ye masti faqr-e-bu-bakar-o-ali lagti nahin mujh ko
