sakhti-e-dahr hue bahr-e-sukhan mein aasaan — Muneer Shikohabadi

be-ilm shaairon kaa gila kyaa hai ai 'munir'
hai ahl-e-ilm ko tiraa tarz-e-bayaan pasand

sunti hai roz naghma-e-zanjir-e-aashiqaan
vo zulf bhi hai silsila-e-ahl-e-chisht mein

jis roz main gintaa huun tire aane ki ghaDiyaan
suraj ko banaa deti hai sone ki ghaDi baat

jab kabhi maski kaTori kyaa sadaa paidaa hui
karti hai angiyaa ki chiDiyaa chahchahaane ki havas

vird-e-ism-e-zaat kholaa chaahtaa hai ye girah
mere dil par daant hai allaah ki tashdid kaa

haath milvaate ho tarsaae gilauri ke liye
kaf-e-afsos na mal jaae kahin paanv mein
