Qamar Bhi Dur Na Tha Kahkashan Buland Na Thi

qamar bhi dur na tha kahkashan buland na thi

hamin ko farsh se duri magar pasand na thi

zara si aatish-e-gham se chaTaKH ke bujh jati

meri hayat-e-junun dana-e-sipand na thi

lahu zamin ke shagafon se be-sabab phuTa

falak ki aankh abhi mail-e-gazand na thi

yahi ki pas tha taqdis-e-baam ka warna

talab ke hath mein kya shauq ki kamand na thi

hamare haal pe ahl-e-jahan ke honTon par

hansi na thi koi aisi jo zahr-KHand na thi

shaguft-e-gul ki sada ho ki girya-e-shabnam

jahan mein kaun si aawaz thi jo pand na thi

fareb de gai aalam ko KHu-e-tanhai

mere junun ki tabiat to KHud-pasand na thi

ziyan tha naz mata-e-hunar pe ai 'manzur'

ye chiz chashm-e-zamana mein arjumand na thi
