Munkir-e-Ehd-e-Wafa! Bata kia karta?

Sufi-e-shehr mere haq mein dua kaya karta,

khud tha mohtaj-e-ata, mujhko ataa kaya karta,

apni awaaz ke saaye say hol aata hay,

mein bayaban-e-tamanna mein sada kaya karta

Mohtasib jurm mera dekh ke khamosh raha,

khud khata'kaar tha, ehkaam-e-saza kaya karta,

us fiza mein to farishton ke bhi par jaltay hain,

mein yahan jurrat-e-parwaz bhala kaya karta,

Rifa'at-e-daar bhi choo li teri khatir mein ne,

Munkir-e-Ehd-e-Wafa! Bata kaya karta?

Tum ne to chheen li mujh se meri goyaae bhi,

Mein to ek kaghaz-e-atish zda tha, kaya karta,

khud faramoshi ke sehraa'on mein gum tha Mohsin,

Koi us be'khabar-e-jaan say gila kaya karta,
