Sufi
lahu ki buund misl-e-aina har dar pe rakkhi thi
sanad ahl-e-vafa ki lasha-e-be-sar pe rakkhi thi
nigahen vaqt ki kaise nazar-andaz kar detin
asas-e-gulsitan katre hue shahpar pe rakkhi thi
ana majruh ho jaati qadam pichhe agar hatte
bina-e-qurb dohri dhaar ke khanjar pe rakkhi thi
idhar ham sar hatheli par liye maqtal men pahunche the
udhar qatil ne ghabra kar hatheli sar pe rakkhi thi
khudi ki raushni men main ne dekha hai aqidat ko
khudai varna aazar ki miri thokar pe rakkhi thi
khulus-o-mehr ke paani ne thanda kar diya akhir
jo tum ne aag nafrat ki dil-e-muztar pe rakkhi thi
liya jaata na kaise imtihan-e-zarf ai ‘saqi’
nazar har ek bada-khvar ne saghar pe rakkhi thi
