Dur Kyun Jaun Yahin Jalwa-Numa baiTha Hai

Muztar Khairabadi

duur kyuun ja.un yahin jalva-numa baiTha hai

dil mira arsh hai aur us pe ḳhuda baiTha hai

but-kade men tire jalve ne tarashe patthar

jis ne dekha yahi jaana ki ḳhuda baiTha hai

kya hue aankh ke parde jo paḌe the ab tak

barmala hashr men kyuun aaj ḳhuda baiTha hai

naqsh-e-vahdat hi suvaida ko kaha karte hain

dil men ik til hai aur us til men ḳhuda baiTha hai

main jo kahta huun ki ka.abe ko na barbad karo

hans ke but kahte hain kya dil men ḳhuda baiTha hai

asman main tiri gardish se nahin Darta huun

tujh ko kis baat ka gham sar pe ḳhuda baiTha hai

chashm-e-vahdat se jo insan zara ghaur kare

jis ko dekhe yahi samjhe ki ḳhuda baiTha hai

apne marne ka zara gham na karo tum ‘muztar’

yuun samajh lo ki jilane ko ḳhuda baiTha hai
