kya hui meri jawani josh par aai hui

haye wo nazuk-gulabi meri chhalkai hui

jalwa-gah mein aaj ye kis ki tamashai hui

tur se hum le ke aae aankh pathrai hui

hashr mein fitnon se achchhi bazm-e-arai hui

aa ke duniya KHud tamasha KHud tamashai hui

ye bhi shamat thi mere aamal ki lai hui

sab se pahle hashr ke din meri ruswai hui

main chala dozaKH ko lekin us ki rahmat dekh le

aankh meri su-e-kausar aaj lalchai hui

us ki Thokar ke nishan sab ban gae dagh-e-sujud

ye jabin hai kis but-e-kafir ki Thukrai hui

hashr mein qatil ne dekhi hai lahu ki koi chhinT

su-e-daman kyun jhuki hai aankh sharmai hui

tazgi si aa gai un ka tabassum dekh kar

khil uThin kaliyan mere madfan ki murjhai hui

rah gai yaad-e-jawani wo jawani ab kahan

dagh-e-daman hai miTe sar josh chhalkai hui

dekhte wo bhi to aa jate zarur aankhon mein ashk

dil se ruKHsat us tarah dil ki shakebai hui

ai qayamat aa bhi tera ho raha hai intizar

un ke dar par lash ek rakhi hai kafnai hui

nim-uryan kuchh numaish husn ki thi wasl mein

chheD ne ko raat hila un ki angDai hui

KHak phanki masjidon mein ja rahe jab hum kabhi

mai-kadon mein aa rahe tu baada-paimai hui

har lahad se saf milta hai qayamat ka jawab

KHak dar dar chhanti hai un ki Thukrai hui

manzilon pichhe hain rah-e-ishq mein farhad-o-qais

ye hansen us ko ab aisi meri ruswai hui

raat-din angDaiyan wo len meri aaghosh mein

jin hasinon ke liye paida ye angDai hui

wo bhi ghabrae hue thi baat bhi thi sharm ki

rah gai honThon mein dab kar honTh tak aai hui

nam hai mai bu nahin talKHi nahin tezi nahin

muddaton zahid ne pi hai meri khinchwai hui

hai numayan aaj sab mina-paraston mein 'riyaz'

jam-e-jam se baDh ke qadr-e-jam-e-minai hui
