Alaam-e-rozgaar ko assa'n bana diya

Alaam-e-rozgaar ko assa'n bana diya
Jo ghum hua use ghum-e-jaana'n bana diya

Men kamyaab-e-deed bhi mehroom-e-deed bhi
Jalwon ke izhdiham ne hairaa'n bana diya

Yun muskuraye jaan si kalliyon men parr gayi
Yun labb kusha hue ke gulistaa'n bana diya

Ae shaikh! wo baseet haqiqat hai kufr ki
Kuch qaid-o-rasam ne jise eemaa'n bana diya

Kuch aag di hawas men to tameer-e-ishq ki
Jab khaak kar diya use irfa'n bana diya

Ik barq thi zameer men fitrat ke mojzin
Aj us ko husn-o-ishq ka sama'n bana diya

Wo shorashen nizam jahan jin ke dumm se hai
Jab mukhtasir kiya unhe insa'n bana diya

Hum us nigah-e-naaz ko samjhe the neesh tar
Tum ne to muskura ke rag-e-jaa'n bana diya

Kehte hain ik fareb-e-musalsal hai zindagi
Is ko bhi waqf-e-hasrat-o-harma'n bana diya
