Sar-guzisht-e-adam

sune koi meri ghurbat ki dastan mujh se

bhulaya qissa-e-paiman-e-awwalin mein ne

lagi na meri tabiat riyaz-e-jannat mein

piya shuur ka jab jam-e-atishin main ne

rahi haqiqat-e-alam ki justuju mujh ko

dikhaya auj-e-KHayal-e-falak-nashin main ne

mila mizaj-e-taghayyur-pasand kuchh aisa

kiya qarar na zer-e-falak kahin main ne

nikala kabe se patthar ki muraton ko kabhi

kabhi buton ko banaya haram-nashin main ne

kabhi main zauq-e-takallum mein tur par pahuncha

chhupaya nur-e-azl zer-e-astin main ne

kabhi salib pe apnon ne mujh ko laTkaya

kiya falak ko safar chhoD kar zamin main ne

kabhi main ghaar-e-hira mein chhupa raha barson

diya jahan ko kabhi jam-e-aKHrin main ne

sunaya hind mein aa kar surud-e-rabbani

pasand ki kabhi yunan ki sarzamin main ne

dayar-e-hind ne jis dam meri sada na suni

basaya KHitta-e-japan o mulk-e-chin main ne

banaya zarron ki tarkib se kabhi aalam

KHilaf-e-mani-e-talim-e-ahl-e-din main ne

lahu se lal kiya saikDon zaminon ko

jahan main chheD ke paikar-e-aql-o-din main ne

samajh mein aai haqiqat na jab sitaron ki

isi KHayal mein raaten guzar din main ne

Dara sakin na kalisa ki mujh ko talwaren

sikhaya masala-e-gardish-e-zamin main ne

kashish ka raaz huwaida kiya zamane par

laga ke aaina-e-aql-e-dur-bin main ne

kiya asir shuaon ko barq-e-muztar ko

bana di ghairat-e-jannat ye sarzamin main ne

magar KHabar na mili aah raaz-e-hasti ki

kiya KHirad se jahan ko tah-e-nagin main ne

hui jo chashm-e-mazahir-parast wa aaKHir

to paya KHana-e-dil mein use makin main ne
