Maktabon mein kahin ranai-e-afkaar bhi hai
Khanqahon mein kahin lazat-e-asraar bhi hai
Manzil-e-rah rawaan door bhi, dushwaar bhi hai
Koi is qafila mein qafila saalar bhi hai
Barh ke Khyber se hai yeh ma’raka-e-deen-o-watan
Is zamane mein koi Haider-e-Karrar bhi hai
Ilm ki hadd se pare banda-e-momin ke liye
Lazzat-e-shauq bhi hai, naimat-e-deedaar bhi hai
Peer-e-maikhana yeh kehta hai ke aiwaan-e-farang
Sust buniyaad bhi hai, aaina-e-deewaar bhi ha
“Ameen raaz hai mardan-e-hur ki darveshi

Yeh rang-o-nam yeh lahoo aab-o-naan ki hai beshi”
Fitrath ne na bakhsha mujhe andesha-e-chalaak
Rakhhti hai magar taqat parwaaz meri khaak
Woh khaak ke hai jis ka junoon siqal idraak
Woh khaak ke Jibreel ki hai jis se qaba chaak
Is khaak ko Allah ne bakhshe hain woh aansu
Karti hai chamak jin ki sitaron ko arq-naak
Woh khaak ke parwaaz-e-nasheman nahin rakhti
Chinti nahin pehnaaye chaman se khash-o-khashak
Yun haath nahin aata woh gauhar-e-yak daana
Yak-rangi o azaadi, aye himmat-e-mardaana
Ya Sanjar-o-Tughrel ka aa’een-e-jahangiri
Ya mard-e-qalandar ke andaaz-e-malukana
Ya hairat-e-Farabi ya taab-o-tab-e-Rumi
Ya fikr-e-hakeemana ya jazb-e-Kalimana
Ya aql ki rubahi ya ishq-e-Yadullahi
Ya heelah-e-afrangi ya hamlah-e-turkana
Ya shara’-e-Musulmani ya deyr ki darbani
Ya naara-e-mastana, Ka’aba ho ke butkhana
Meri mein faqiri mein shahi mein ghulami mein
Kuch kaam nahin banta be jura’at-e-rindana
Kya ishq aik zindagi mustaar ka
Kya ishq paa’edar se naa’paa’edar ki
Woh ishq jis ki shama bujha de ajal ki phoonk
Us mein maza nahin tapish-o-intezar ka
Meri bisaat kya hai, tab-o-taab yak nafas
Sholay se be-mahal hai uljhna sharaar ka
Kar pehle mujh ko zindagi-e-jaawidaan ata
Phir zoq-o-shauq dekh dil-e-beqaraar ka
Kaanta woh de ke jis ki khatak la-zawaal ho
Yaarab, woh dard jis ki kasak la-zawaal ho

Sila un ki kadd-o-kawish ka hai seenon ki be-noori.
Yaqeen paida kar ae nadan, yaqeen se haath aati hai
Woh darveshi ke jis ke samne jhukti hai faghfoori.
Had-e-idraak se baahir hain baatein ishq o masti ki
Samajh mein is qadar aaya ke dil ki maut hai doori.
Kabhi hairat, kabhi masti, kabhi aah-e-sehergahi
Badalta hai hazaron rang, mera dard-e-mehjoori.
Woh apne husn ki masti se hain majboor-e-pedai
Meri aankhon ki beenai mein hain asbaab-e-mastoori.

Na ho tabiyat hi jin ki qaabil, woh tarbiyat se nahi sanwartay
Hawa na sarsabz reh ke paani mein aaks-e-sarv-e-kinaara jo ka
Agar koi shay nahi hai panha, to kyun sarapa talash hoon main
Nigaah ko nazaraye ki tamanna hai, dil ko soda hai jastajoo ka
Chaman mein gulchein se gunchah kehta tha, itna be-dard kyun hai insaan
Teri nigaahon mein hai tabassum, shikasta hona mere saboo ka
Ae baad-e-saba! Kamli walay se jaa kehiyo paighaam mera
Qabze se ummat bechaari ke deen bhi gaya, duniya bhi gayi
Yeh mauj-e-pareshan khatir ko paighaam lab-e-saahil ne diya
Hai door wisaal-e-bahr bhi, tu darya mein ghabra bhi gayi!
Izzat hai mohabbat ki qaim ae Qais! hijaab-e-mahmal se
Mahmal jo gaya izzat bhi gayi, ghairat bhi gayi, Layla bhi gayi
Ki tark-e-tag-o-do qatre ne to aabroo-e-gohar bhi mili
Aawargi-e-fitrat bhi gayi aur kashmakash-e-darya bhi gayi
Nikli to lab-e-Iqbal se hai, kya janiye kis ki hai yeh sada
Paighaam-e-sukoon pohancha bhi gayi, dil-e-mahfil ka tarpa bhi gayi
