ye tirī ḳhalq-navāzī kā taqāza bhī nahīñ
kahīñ dariyā hai ravāñ aur kahīñ qatra bhī nahīñ
apne āqāoñ ke aiboñ ko mahāsin samjhe
itnī pāband-e-aqīdat to re.āyā bhī nahīñ
iḳhtiyārāt se haq tak haiñ zabānī bāteñ
dastaḳhat kyā kisī kāġhaz pe añgūThā bhī nahīñ
koī imkān nahīñ hai kisī ḳhush-fahmī kā
chāra-gar tum ho to phir zaḳhm ko bharnā bhī nahīñ
ishtihārāt lage haiñ mirī ḳhush-hālī ke
aur thālī meñ mirī ḳhushk nivāla bhī nahīñ
ye ujālā koī sāzish hai ye jugnū hai fareb
sub.h se pahle charāġhoñ ko bujhānā bhī nahīñ
ye teri KHalq-nawazi ka taqaza bhi nahin
kahin dariya hai rawan aur kahin qatra bhi nahin
apne aaqaon ke aibon ko mahasin samjhe
itni paband-e-aqidat to reaya bhi nahin
iKHtiyaraat se haq tak hain zabani baaten
dastaKHat kya kisi kaghaz pe anguTha bhi nahin
koi imkan nahin hai kisi KHush-fahmi ka
chaara-gar tum ho to phir zaKHm ko bharna bhi nahin
ishtihaaraat lage hain meri KHush-haali ke
aur thaali mein meri KHushk niwala bhi nahin
ye ujala koi sazish hai ye jugnu hai fareb
subh se pahle charaghon ko bujhana bhi nahin
