مجنوں نے شہر چھوڑا تو صحرا بھی چھوڑ دے

majnun ne shahr chhoda to sahra bhi chhod de

nazzare ki havas ho to laila bhi chhod de

vaaiz kamal-e-tark se milti hai yaan murad

duniya jo chhod di hai to uqba bhi chhod de

taqlid Ki ravish se to behtar hai ḳhud-kushi

rasta bhi DhunD ḳhizr ka sauda bhi chhod de

manind-e-ḳhama teri zaban par hai harf-e-ghair

begana shai pe nazish-e-beja bhi chhod de

lutf-e-kalam kya jo na ho dil men dard-e-ishq

bismil nahin hai tu to taDapna bhi chhod de

shabnam ki tarah phulon pe ro aur chaman se chal

is baagh men qayam ka sauda bhi chhod de

hai ashiqi men rasm alag sab se baiThna

but-ḳhana bhi haram bhi kalisa bhi chhod de

sauda-gari nahin ye ibadat ḳhuda ki hai

ai be-ḳhabar jaza ki tamanna bhi chhoD de

achchha hai dil ke saath rahe pasban-e-aql

lekin kabhi kabhi ise tanha bhi chhod de

jiina vo kya jo ho nafas-e-ghair par madar

shohrat ki zindagi ka bharosa bhi chhod de

shoḳhi si hai saval-e-mukarrar men ai kalim

shart-e-raza ye hai ki taqaza bhi chhod de

vaaiz subut laae jo mai ke javaz men

'iqbal' ko ye zid hai ki piina bhi chhod de
