Ajib Daur Hai Ahl-e-hunar Nahin Aate

ajib daur hai ahl-e-hunar nahin aate

pidar ka ilm liye ab pisar nahin aate

hawa ke jhonke bhi le kar KHabar nahin aate

jo ghar se jate hain phir lauT kar nahin aate

hazar shaKH-e-tamanna ki dekh-bhaal karo

ye shaKH wo hai ki jis par samar nahin aate

samajh sakenge na meri guzar-basar ko huzur

sunahre taKHt se jab tak utar nahin aate

hum un ki samt chalen kis tarah se milon-mil

hamari samt jo baalisht-bhar nahin aate

janab-e-shaiKH ke hujre se dur hi rahiye

farishte aate hain is mein bashar nahin aate

sawal hi na tha dushman ki fath-yabi ka

hamari saf mein munafiq agar nahin aate

na jaane kis ki nazar lag gai zamane ko

ki phul chehre shagufta nazar nahin aate

wo din gae ki koi KHwab hum ko taDpae

ab aise KHwab hamein raat-bhar nahin aate

hum un ki rah mein aankhen bichhaen kyun 'mahir'

jo aasman se sar-e-rah-guzar nahin aate
