Khub-Ru Sab Hain Magar Hura-Shamail Ek Hai

Poet

khub-ru sab hain magar hura-shamail ek hai

aur mah-para hain lekin mah-e-kamil ek hai

haq-taala us ke zulfon se bachae al-hazar

samna hai do balaon ka mira dil ek hai

kaun sa rahat-rasan maashuq hai afaq men

dusra bhi afat-e-jan hai jo qatil ek hai

main tadapta huun to kahte hain asiran-e-qafas

zakhm-khurda ham giraftaron men bismil ek hai

jis ka ji chaha chala aaya baghair az ittilaa

aap ki sarkar men bazar-o-mahfil ek hai

shama chalti hai to parvane bhi jal jaate hain saath

vaah kya in ashiq-o-mashuq ka dil ek hai

rind-o-zahid donon puchhenge barabar dekhna

tafarqe un men dorahe tak hai manzil ek hai

us ki zulfon ka tasavvur hai jo har dam dil-nashin

main samajhta huun ki do laila hain mahmil ek hai

jo muarrif kamilon ke thi agar hoti vo aaj

ham ko bhi kahte ye apni fan men kamil ek hai

‘bahr’ apni bhi fasahat jante hain ahal-e-fahm

dusre ham hain agar sahban-o-i.l ek hai
