Sawaal ye tu nahi.N he kya haqiqat he
Sawaal ye he ke kiya sah ki koi qeemat he

Guzar raha jo mujh per wohi he rooz-e-hisaab
Theher gae he jo dil per wohi qayamaat he

Sae mai.n jis ki guzar jaye faisle ki ghari
Wo ilm ilm nahi.N he mehez himaaqat he

Badan faraib tha so khak ho gaya jal ker
Sharar-e-ishq haqiqat tha? So salamat he?

Jaha.N se maawra bhi koi zaat he ke nahi.N
Ye jaanne ke hamai.N kiya koi zaroorat he?

Qaraar shoal-e-ulfat ne dil mai.N he pakra
Pighalti shamma ke jaise badan ki haalat he

Tu apne aap ke jalne ka khud tamaasha ker
Yahaa.N pe tujh ko mehez itni he ijaazat he

Ye lag saath mere khud ko bhi mita de ge
Ke is ko naam se hasti ke he adawaat he

Jo dikh rahe he wohi he haqeeqat-e-mutliq
Jo saamne he mere bas wohi sadaqat he

Sitam ke baa dab ik aur he sitam aage
Ye dekhiye ke he saaman kiya baham aage

Yaqee.N ki had mai.N ager hal ye masaala hota
Yaqee.N ki had se guzarta na ye qadam aage

Dikhe ge is mai.N bhala kab mujhe koi surat
Rakha he aap ne jo la ke jam-e-jam aage

Nahi.N karoo.N ga mai.N toba kabhi gunahoo.N se
Ghuta he toba bhi kerne se mera dam aage

Bahaao.N ashk-e-nidamat mai.N kiyoo.N nigahoo.N se
Hua he faida is ka bhi mujh ko kam aage
