Classic Poem

Duniya mein kaun kaun na yak baar ho gaya,
Par munh phir is tarf na kiya us ne jo gaya.

Phirti hai meri khaak saba dar-b-dar liye,
Ai chashm-e-ashkbaar yeh kya tujh ko ho gaya.

Aagah is jahaan mein nahin ghair be khudaan,
Jaaga wahi idhar se jo mund ankh so gaya.

Tufaan-e-Noah ne to dubai zamin faqt,
Main nang-e-khalq saari khudaai dabo gaya.

Barham kahin na ho gul-o-bulbul ki asshti,
Darta hun aaj baagh mein woh tund khu gaya.

Waiz kise darawe hai yom-ulhisab se,
Giriya mera to naama-e-aamal dho gaya.

Phulenge is zabaan mein bhi gulzar-e-maarfat,
Yaan main zamin-e-sheir mein yeh tukhm bo gaya.

Aya na aitdaal par hargiz mazaaj-e-dahar,
Main garche garm-o-sard-e-zamana samo gaya.

Ai Dard jis ki ankh khuli is jahan mein,
Shabnam ki tara jaan ko apni woh ro gaya.
