ai tan-parast jaama-e-surat kasif hai — Bayan Meeruthi

dil aayaa hai qayaamat hai miraa dil
uThe taazim de joban kisi kaa

yaad mein khvaab mein tasavvur mein
aa ki aane ke hain hazaar tariq

kabhi hansaayaa kabhi rulaayaa kabhi rulaayaa kabhi hansaayaa
jhijak jhijak kar simaT simaT kar lipaT lipaT kar dabaa dabaa kar

nahin ye aadmi kaa kaam vaaiz
hamaare but taraashe hain khudaa ne

lahu Tapkaa kisi ki aarzu se
hamaari aarzu Tapki lahu se

shaikh ke maathe pe miTTi barhaman ke bar mein but
aadmi dair-o-haram se khaak patthar le chalaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram
