Zawiye

mujhe to be-sukun sa kar gaya us shoKH ka kahna

haqiqat ke taraazu mein kabhi taula hai jazbon ko

mohabbat ke taqaddus ka bharam rakkha kabhi tu ne

kabhi be-saKHta lipTa hai mahrum-e-sabahat se

kabhi haal-e-kaji puchha hai mashur-e-qabahat se

kabhi dasht-e-junun paTa hai jazbaat-e-iradat se

kabhi sarsar se talKHi ka sabab puchha matanat se

kabhi tarjih di KHak-e-chaman par reg-e-sahra ko

gul-o-bulbul se haT kar bhi kabhi dekha hai fitrat ko

gul-o-bulbul baja lekin chaman mein KHar bhi to hai

sabahat waqf-e-gulshan hi nahin kohsar bhi to hain

kai poshida az fikr-o-nazar shahkar bhi to hain

ghalat hain nasiya-farsaiyan teri talab teri

teri rahen juda hain ahl-e-dil se ahl-e-hasrat se

tera husn-e-nazar mahdud hai zati maqasid tak

teri ye shapra-chashmi hi tujhe barbaad kar degi
