Karam Ka Aur Hai Imkan Khule to Baat Chale

Aziz Hamid Madni

karam ka aur hai imkan khule to baat chale

is iltifat ka unvan khule to baat chale

kis intizar men thi ruh-e-ḳhud-numa.i-e-gul

baras ke abr-e-baharan khule to baat chale

kuchh ab ke ham bhi kahen us ki dastan-e-visal

magar vo zulf-e-pareshan khule to baat chale

jafa ye silsila-e-sad-hazar-unvan hai

qamis-e-yusuf-e-kan.an khule to baat chale

safar hai aur sitaron ka ik bayaban hai

musafiri ka bhi imkan khule to baat chale

tilism-e-sheva-e-yaran khula to kuchh na hua

kabhi ye habs-e-dil-o-jan khule to baat chale

sulag raha hai ufuq bujh rahi hai atish-e-mahr

rumuz-e-rabt-e-gurezan khule to baat chale
