بہلتے کس جگہ ، جی اپنا بہلانے کہاں جاتے

Behaltay kis jagah, ji apna behlane kahan jatay

Teri chaukhat se uth kar tere deewane kahan jatay

Na waaiz se koi rishta, na zaahid se shinasai

Agar miltay na rindon ko to paimane kahan jatay

Khuda ka shukr, sham'a rukh liye aaye woh mehfil mein

Jo parday mein chhupe rehte to parwane kahan jatay

Agar hoti na shaamil rasm-e-duniya mein yeh zahmat bhi

Kisi be-kas ki mait log dafnane kahan jatay

Agar kuch aur bhi gardish mein rehte deedah-e-saqi

Nahi maloom chakkar kha ke maikhane kahan jatay

Khuda aabaad rakhay silsila is teri nisbat ka

Warna hum bhari duniya mein pehchane kahan jatay

Naseer acha hua dar mil gaya un ka hamein, warna

Kahan ruktay, kahan thamte, Khuda jaane kahan jatay
