Wahi gul hai gulistan mein wahi hai shama mahfil mein

wahi gul hai gulistan mein wahi hai shama mahfil mein
wahi yusuf hai zindan mein wahi laila hai mahmil mein

hazaron ban gai hain kushtagan-e-KHal ki qabren
jagah til bhar nahin baqi zamin-e-ku-e-qatil mein

nahin raushan dilon ki qadr kuchh arbab-e-zahir ko
ijazat baiThne ki shama ko di kis ne mahfil mein

ye aalam nur ka hai jalwa-e-dagh-e-mohabbat se
nahin kuchh farq mere dil mein aur KHurshid-e-manzil mein

syahi-e-KHun-e-sauda ki ye waqt-e-qatl kaam aai
lagaya surma chashm-e-jauhar-e-shamshir-e-qatil mein

ye kis zohra-jabin ki anjuman mein aamad aamad hai
bichhaya hai qamar ne chandni ka farsh mahfil mein

nazar aata nahin manind-e-abru ek mah-e-nau
mahinon rahti hain wo hasraten madd-e-muqabil mein

na ho munkir na ho munkir KHuda wo hai KHuda wo hai
rujua qalb ho jate hai jis ki samt mushkil mein

nahin jauhar liye hain bas-ki shauq-e-qatl mein bose
hamare naqsh-e-dandan hain lab-e-shamshir-e-qatil mein

wo aawara hun main hai KHatm mujh par tez-raftari
ki hain miqraaz donon panw mere qat-e-manzil mein

tumhaare gesu-e-pechan ki jab tarif likhta hun
qalam paband ho jata hai misron ki salasil mein

falak par jae isa hai gaya zer-e-zamin qarun
zamin-o-asman ka farq paya haqq-o-baatil mein

bashar tanha nahin diwane us shamshad-qamat ke
shajar jakDe hue hain ishq-e-pechi ki salasil mein

miTa harf-e-mohabbat aap ke aariz pe KHat nikla
hamara nam ab likhiye to likhiye fard-e-baatil mein

umid-e-madilat us shah se hai mujh ko ai 'nazim'
hui jis ki wiladat bhi zaman-e-shah-e-adil mein
