Ruh Ko Qalib Ke Andar Jaanna Mushkil Hua

ruh ko qalib ke andar jaanna mushkil hua

lafz mein ehsas ko pahchanna mushkil hua

le uDi patte hawa to shaKH-e-gul be-bas hui

phul par sae ki chadar tanna mushkil hua

apne KHalwat-KHana-e-dil se jo nikle to hamein

sab ke gham mein apna gham bhi jaanna mushkil hua

waqt ne jab aaina hum ko dikhaya ro paDe

apni surat aap hi pahchanna mushkil hua

is mashini-ahd mein kya zat kya irfan-e-zat

aadmi ko aadmi gardanana mushkil hua

justuju-e-lal-o-gauhar se bhi baz aae wo log

KHirman-e-KHashak jin se chhanna mushkil hua

dil na chhoTa kijiye na-qadri-e-ahbab par

aib-juyon ko hunar pahchanna mushkil hua

kya karen 'jawed' is bahrupiyon ke daur mein

gul ko gul kanTe ko kanTa manna mushkil hua
