naa la firaaque

ja basa maghrib mein aakhir ai makan tera makin

aaha! mashrique ki pasand aai na us ko sar zamin

aa gaya aaj us sadaaqat ka mire dil ko yaquin

zulmat shab se zeeaaye roz furqat kam nahi

ta z aaghosh wadaash daagh hairat cheeda asat

hamcho shama kushta dar chashm nigah khwaabeeda asat

kushta uzlat hoon aabaadi mein ghabraata hoon mein

shahar se sauda ki shiddat mein nikal jaata hoon mein

yaad ayyaam salaf se dil ko tadpaata hoon mein

bahar taskin teri jaanib dodta aata hoon mein

aankh go maanoos hai tere dar w deewar se

ajanbeet hai magar paida miri raftaar se

zarra mere dil ka khursheed aashna hone ko tha

aaina toota hua aalam numa hone ko tha

nakhl meri aarzoyon ka hara hone ko tha

aaha! kya jaane koi mein kya se kya hone ko tha

abr rahmat daaman az gulzaar man barcheed w rafat

anad ke bar ghuncha haaye aarzoo baareed w rafat

toh kahan hai ai kaleem zaroya seenaaye ilm

thi tiri mauj nafas baad nashaat afzaaye ilm

ab kahan wo shauque rah paimaai sahra ilm

tere dam se tha hamare sar mein bhi sauda ilm

shor laila ko ki baaz aaraaish sauda kanad

khaak majnoon ra ghubaar khaatir sahra kanad

khol de ga dasht wahshat aqudiya taqudeer ko

tod kar pahanchon ga mein panjaab ki zanjeer ko

dekhta hai deediya hairan tiri tasweer ko

kya tasalli ho magar garweedah taqureer ko

taab goyaai nahi rakhta dahan tasweer ka

khaamushi kahte hain jis ko hai sukhan tasweer ka
