Itna To Jaante Hain Ki Bande KHuda Ke Hain

itna to jaante hain ki bande KHuda ke hain

aage hawas gum KHirad-e-na-rasa ke hain

mamnun-e-barg-e-gul hain na sharminda-e-saba

hum bulbul aur hi chaman-e-dil-kusha ke hain

kya kohkan ki koh-kani kya junun-e-qais

wadi-e-ishq mein ye maqam ibtida ke hain

bunyan-e-umr sust hai aur muniman-e-dahr

maghrur apne ko shak-e-ali bina ke hain

apne wajud ka abhi uqda khula nahin

masruf hill-o-aqd main arz-o-sama ke hain

shaiKH aur barhaman mein agar lag hai to ho

donon shikar-e-ghamza usi dil-ruba ke hain

jin ko inayat-e-azali se hai chashm-dasht

wo mo'taqid dua ke na qael dawa ke hain

laya nahin hunuz nawed-e-visal-e-dost

hum shikwa-sanj susti-e-paik-e-saba ke hain

samjho agar to hain wahi sab se haris-tar

talib KHuda se jo dil-e-be-muddaa ke hain

un bad-dilon ne ishq ko bad-nam kar diya

jo murtakib shikayat-e-jaur-o-jafa ke hain

himmat huma-e-auj-e-saadat hai mard ko

ullu hain wo jo shefta zill-e-huma ke hain

hai ashk-o-ah ras hamare mizaj ko

yani pale hue isi aab-o-hawa ke hain

jo bandhte hain turra-e-tarrar ka KHayal

nadan umid-war nuzul-e-bala ke hain

khaTka bhi kuchh hua nahin aur dil uDa liya

ye sare hathkanDe teri zulf-e-dota ke hain

said-e-karishma is liye hote nahin ki hum

pahle se zaKHm-KHurda fareb-e-wafa ke hain

mara bhi aur mar ke zinda bhi kar diya

ye shoabde to shoKHi-e-naz-o-ada ke hain

KHalwat mein bhi rawa nahin gustaKHi-e-nigah

parde paDe hue abhi sharm-o-haya ke hain

yun kah rahi hai nargis-e-bimar ki ada

nusKHe to mujh ko yaad hazaron shifa ke hain

ab tak hai sajda-gah-e-azizan-e-rozgar

jis KHak par nishan tere kafsh-e-pa ke hain

andesha hai ki de na idhar ki udhar laga

mujh ko to na-pasand watire saba ke hain

sair-e-warud-e-qafila-e-nau-bahaar dekh

barpa KHiyam auj-e-hawa mein ghaTa ke hain

jata hai KHak-e-pak-e-deccan ko ye reKHta

wan qadr-dan is guhar-e-be-baha ke hain

ahbab ka karam hai agar nukta-chin na hon

warna hum aap mo'tarif apni KHata ke hain
