Yaqinan hai koi mah-e-munawwar pichhe chilman ke

yaqinan hai koi mah-e-munawwar pichhe chilman ke
ki us ki putliyon se aa raha hai nur chhan chhan ke

qadam kyun-kar na lun but-KHane mein ek ek barhaman ke
ki aaya hun yahan main shauq mein ek but ke darshan ke

na kyun aaina wo dekha karen har waqt ban ban ke
zamana hai ye KHud-bini ka din hain un ke jauban ke

ye hain saman-e-araish junun mein apne maskan ke
udhar TukDe gareban ke idhar purze hain daman ke

hamare dast-e-wahshat kab hain nichle baiThne wale
uDa lenge na sare tar jab tak jeb-o-daman ke

hamari KHana-virani ki dhun kyun baghban ko hai
hamare pas kya hai chaar tinke hain nasheman ke

hamare yar ki qimat ko kya tum ne nahin dekha
khaDe ho sarw shamshad o sanobar! tum jo jiyun tan ke

zamane mein koi hoga ki bigDi us ki banti ho
hamare khel to sare bigaD jate hain ban ban ke

koi KHurshid-sima aa raha hai fatiha paDhne
zarurat shama ki ab kya sirhane mere madfan ke

KHabar le ab zara apni safai qalb ki zahid
ginega dagh kab tak tu mere aaluda daman ke

zaban se kahne se hasil ki tujh se uns hai mujh ko
samajhta hai mera dil KHub ishaare taire chitwan ke

jo wa bhi ho qafas ka dar to hum us se na hon bahar
nahin dil mein hamare walwale ab sair-e-gulshan ke

gareban chaak aankhen surKH barham kakul-e-pechan
ye kya surat banai hae tum ne gham mein dushman ke

mara hun ek but-e-ghaarat-gar-e-din ki mohabbat mein
kafan mera sile taron se zunnar-e-barhaman ke

KHizan aur naghme shadi ke bahaar aae to ga lena
ye din to ai anadil hain tumhaare shor-o-shewan ke

jo ho baran-e-rahmat mazra-e-aghyar ke haq mein
wahi barq-e-ghazab ho aah haq mein mere KHirman ke

dil-e-nadan ki hai kya asl agar buqraat bhi hota
to aata wo bhi dam mein us but-e-ayyar-o-pur-fan ke

hasinan-e-jahan ke Dhang duniya se nirale hain
ki hote hain ye dushman dost ke aur dost dushman ke

unhen hargiz ye dil apna ki shishe se bhi nazuk hai
na denge hum ki un mein Dhang abhi tak hain laDakpan ke

gham-e-duniya-o-din se ab kahan dam bhar ki bhi mohlat
hamari farigh-ul-baali sudhaari sath bachpan ke

gaya tha raat waiz mai-kade mein waz kahne ko
magar nikla wo koi shai chhupae niche daman ke

na jaanen us mein thi kya maslahat sanna be-chun ki
dil un simin-tanon ke kyun banae sang-o-ahan ke

agar ghaflat ka parda dur ho insan ki aankhon se
nazar aaen manazir har jagah wadi-o-aiman ke

taghaful kaj-adai bewafai aashiq-e-zari
buton ko kya nahin aata ye hain ustad har fan ke

agar mujh se juda hone ki tu ne Than hi li hai
judai Dal pahle darmiyan mere sar o tan ke

agar ushshaq ke maqsum mein tha sadma-e-hijran
banae jate un ke dil bhi ya-rab sang-o-ahan ke

wo ruThe hain to go mushkil nahin un ka mana lena
magar kab tak manaun ruTh jate hain wo man man ke

tumhaari mang ab kya mangti hai naqd-e-dil mujh se
wo hai muddat se qabze mein tumhaari chashm-e-rahzan ke

abas is dhun mein mahr-o-mah khate phirte hain chakkar
ki ho un ko farogh aage tumhaare ru-e-raushan ke

gharaz shayad ye hai 'ranjur' qabl-az-maut mar jae
chale ho tum jo yun bahr-ayaadat aaj ban-Than ke
