naqid-e-ishwa-e-shabab hai tu

subh-e-farda ka aaftab hai tu

tujh ko aaya hun aaj samjhane

haif hai tu agar bura mane

KHud ko gharq-e-sharab-e-nab na kar

dekh apne ko yun KHarab na kar

shairi ko teri zarurat hai

daur-e-farda ki tu amanat hai

sirf teri bhalai ko ai jaan

ban ke aaya hun naseh-e-nadan

ek Thahraw ek takan hai tu

dekh kis darja dhan-pan hai tu

nang hai mahz ustuKHan hona

saKHt ihanat hai na-tawan hona

ustuKHwani badan duKHani post

ek sangin jurm hai ai dost

sharm ki baat hai wajud-e-saqim

na-tawani hai ek gunah-e-azim

jism aur ilm turfa taqat hai

yahi insan ki nubuwwat hai

jo zaif-o-alil hota hai

ishq mein bhi zalil hota hai

har hunar ko jo ek daulat hai

ilm aur jism ki zarurat hai

kasrat-e-baada rang lati hai

aadmi ko lahu rulati hai

KHush-dilon ko rula ke hansti hai

sham-e-aKHtar bujha ke hansti hai

aur jab aafat jigar pe lati hai

rind ko maulwi banati hai

mai se hota hai maqsad-e-dil faut

mai hai buniyaad-e-maulwiyyat-o-maut

kan mein sun ye baat hai nashtar

maulwiyyat hai maut se bad-tar

is se hota hai kar-e-umr tamam

is se hota hai aql ko sarsam

is mein insan ki jaan jati hai

is mein shair ki aan jati hai

ye zamin aasman kya shai hai

aan jae to jaan kya shai hai

gauhar-e-shah-war chun pyare

mujh se ek gur ki baat sun pyare

gham to banta hai chaar din mein nashat

shadmani se rah bahut mohtat

gham ke mare to ji rahe hain hazar

nahin bachte hain aish ke bimar

aan mein dil ke par hoti hai

pankhuDi mein wo dhaar hoti hai

ju-e-ishrat mein gham ke dhaare hain

yaKH-o-shabnam mein bhi sharare hain

han sambhal kar latafaton ko barat

TuT jae kahin na koi parat

dekh kar shisha-e-nashat uTha

ye waraq hai waraq hai sone ka

kaghaz-e-baad ye nagina hai

balki ai dost aabgina hai

saghar-e-shabnam-e-KHush-ab hai ye

aabgina nahin habab hai ye

rok le sans jo qarib aae

Thes us ko kahin na lag jae

tegh-e-masti ko ehtiyat se chhu

warna Tapkega ungliyon se lahu

mastiyon mein hai tab-e-jalwa-e-mah

aur siyah mastiyan KHuda ki panah

KHub hai ek had pe qaem nasha

halka phulka subuk mulaem nasha

han adab se uTha adab se jam

taki aab-e-halal ho na haram

jam par jam jo chaDhate hain

unT ki tarah bilbilate hain

zindagi ki hawas mein marte hain

mai ko ruswa-e-dahr karte hain

yaad hai jab 'jigar' chaDhate the

kya alif ho ke hin-hinate the

meri gardan mein bhar ke chand aahen

panw se Dalte the wo banhen

aql ki maut ilm ki pasti

jo hai miqdar o waqt ka paband

mere pine hi par na ja meri jaan

mujh se jina bhi sikh hain qurban

us ke pine mein rang aata hai

jis ko jine ka Dhang aata hai

ye nasaeh bahut hain besh-baha

jald so jald jag jald naha

bagh mein ja tulua se pahle

ta nigar-e-sahar se dil bahle

sarw-o-shamshad ko gale se laga

har chaman-zad ko gale se laga

munh andhere faza-e-gulshan dekh

sahil o sabza-zar o sausan dekh

gah aawara abr-pare dekh

in ki raftar mein sitare dekh

jaise kohre mein tab-e-ru-e-niku

jaise jangal mein raat ko jugnu

gul ka munh chum ek tarannum se

nahr ko gudguda tabassum se

jism ko kar araq se nam-alud

taki shabnam paDhe lahak ke darud

phenk sanjidgi ka sar se bar

nach uchhal dandana chhalangen mar

dekh aab-e-rawan ka aaina

dauD sahil pe tan kar sina

mast chiDiyon ka chahchahana sun

mauj-e-nau-mashq ka tarana sun

bostan mein saba ka chalna dekh

sabza o sarw ka machalna dekh

shabnam-alud kar suKHan ka libas

chakh dhundalke mein bu-e-gul ki miThas

shairi ko khila hawa-e-sahar

is ka nafqa hai teri gardan par

raqs ki lahr mein ho gum lab-e-nahr

yun ada kar urus-e-sher ka mahr

jazb kar bostan ke naqsh-o-nigar

zehan mein khol misr ka bazar

narm jhonkon ka aab-e-haiwan pi

bu-e-gul rang-e-shabnamistan pi

gun-guna kar nazar uTha kar pi

subh ka shir daghdagha kar pi

taki mujre ko aaen kul barkat

daulat jism o ilm o aql o hayat

ye na tana na ye ulahna hai

ek nukta bas aur kahna hai

ghaibat-e-nur ho ki kasrat-e-nur

zulmat-e-tam ho ki shoala-e-tur

ek sa hai wabaal donon ka

tirgi hai maal donon ka

darKHur-e-sahab-e-maal nahin

har wo shai jis mein e'tidal nahin

shadmani se pi nahin sakta

jis ko hauka ho ji nahin sakta

ai pisar ai baradar ai hamraaz

ban na is tarah dur ki aawaz

koi bimar tan nahin sakta

KHadim-e-KHalq ban nahin sakta

KHidmat-e-KHalq farz hai tujh par

daur-e-mazi ka qarz hai tujh par

asr-e-hazir ke shair-e-KHuddar

qarz-dari ki maut se hoshyar

zehn-e-insaniyat ubhaar ke ja

zindagani ka qarz utar ke ja

tujh pe hindostan naz kare

umr teri KHuda daraaz kare
