merii fanaa me.n gar hai baqaa phir kisii ko kyaa

merii fanaa me.n gar hai baqaa phir kisii ko kyaa

parde ko mai.n rakhaa na rakhaa phir kisii ko kyaa

paa luu.ngaa apne-aap sazaa phir kisii ko kyaa

kahtaa huu.n jo lafz-e-anaa phir kisii ko kyaa

ye baat ho ravaa na ravaa phir kisii ko kyaa

vaa'iz siikhaa na qaa.ede mujh ko sujuud ke

parvaaz merii dekh to baahar huduud ke

jazbaat bahr-o-bar me.n hai.n merii numuud ke

ye KHair-o-shar sifaat mirii hii vujuud ke

baahar buraa huu.n yaa ki bhalaa phir kisii ko kyaa

shiirii.n-dahan ke saaz se naGme sunaa to mai.n

behosh rah ke hosh kii baate.n kiyaa to mai.n

saaqii ke paa-e-naaz pe sajde kiyaa to mai.n

luqma haraam khaa ke bhii saalik rahaa to mai.n

kaafir banaa to aap banaa phir kisii ko kyaa

'hamdam' hai ri.nd garche nahii.n muttaqii 'ubaid

ai shaiKH shar.a tum ko ravaa pandito.n ko vaid

tum jaante nahii.n ho agar surKH aur sufed

kyuu.n puuchhte ho ’aashiq-e-KHvaaja mu.ii.n se bhed

us ne kahaa kahaa na kahaa phir kisii ko kyaa

merii fanaa me.n gar hai baqaa phir kisii ko kyaa

parde ko mai.n rakhaa na rakhaa phir kisii ko kyaa

paa luu.ngaa apne-aap sazaa phir kisii ko kyaa
