But Apne-Ap Ko Kya Jaane Kya Samajhte Hain

but apne-ap ko kya jaane kya samajhte hain

mira khuda unhen samjhe khuda samajhte hain

ada-shanas ki apne ada samajhte hain

ki be-kahe vo mira muddaa samajhte hain

samajhne vaale tumhari ada samajhte hain

vo aur kuchh hai jise sab qaza samajhte hain

falak ka naam na le koi samne un ke

vo us ke zikr ko apna gila samajhte hain

mujhe ye aap ke sar ki qasam na tha maalum

ki aap bhi rah-o-rasm-e-vafa samajhte hain

ye shokhiyan bhi hasinon ki kya qayamat hain

shab-e-visal ko roz-e-jaza samajhte hain

ye din shabab ke hain koi kya kahe un ko

abhi vo kuchh nahin achchha bura samajhte hain

tumhare khoe huon ka ajiib maslak hai

jo rahzan bhi mile rahnuma samajhte hain

shab-e-visal mire ham-nashin se farmaya

yahi to hain jo hamen bevafa samajhte hain

khuda kare kahin mauqe se mujh ko mil jaaen

yahi hasin jo mujhe parsa samajhte hain

hamen ye haq hai tira munh bhi chumte jaaen

ki tere shikva-e-beja baja samajhte hain

na mana kar mai-o-mashuq se hamen vaaiz

ki ham shabab men sab kuchh rava samajhte hain

khuda ki shaan ye kothon ke baithne vaale

hamari aah ko ab na-rasa samajhte hain

‘riyaz’ ishq men kafir buton ke hai be-khud

maza ye hai vo use parsa samajhte hain
