Rah-e-ulfat Mein Yun To Kaba-o-but-KHana Aata Hai

rah-e-ulfat mein yun to kaba-o-but-KHana aata hai

jabin jhukti hai lekin jab dar-e-jaanana aata hai

safar tai ho chuka shayad dar-e-jaanana aata hai

ki dil su-e-jabin sajde ko be-tabana aata hai

teri ummid-e-wasl-e-hur hai ek zohd par mabni

magar waiz mujhe har shewa-e-rindana aata hai

hansi aae tujhe ya nind lekin aah mujh ko to

bas ai be-gana-e-dard ek hi afsana aata hai

dil ujDa jab to phir baqi kahan duniya mein aabaadi

nigahen jis taraf uTThin nazar virana aata hai

hamesha hasb-e-istedad hai faizan-e-qudrat bhi

bahaar aai chaman mein dasht mein diwana aata hai

Thikana phir gham-e-duniya ne paya baad muddat ke

ki apne hosh mein phir 'mani'-e-diwana aata hai
