Aflaak se aata hai

Aflaak se aata hai naalon ka jawaab aakhir,
karte hain khitaab aakhir uthte hain hijab aakhir.

Ahwsal-e-mohabbat mein kuchh farq nahin aisa,
soz-o-tab-o-taab awwal soz-o-tab-o-taab aakhir.

Main tujh ko batata hun taqdeer-e-umam kya hai,
shamsheer-o-sanaa awwal taaoos-o-rabaab aakhir.

Maikhana-e-europe ke dastoor niraale hain,
laate hain suroor awwal dete hain sharaab akhir.

Kya dabdaba-e-naadir kya shaukat-e-taimoori,
ho jaate hain sab daftar gharq-e-mayy-e-naab aakhir.

Khalwat ki ghadi guzri jalwat ki ghadi aayi,
chhutne ko hai bijli se aagosh-e-sahaab aakhir.

Tha zabt bahut mushkil iss sail-e-maani ka,
keh daale qalandar ne asraar-e-kitaab aakhir. !
