Sag-E-Laila Ke Naqsh-E-Pa Hain Hum

Poet

sag-e-laila ke naqsh-e-pa hain ham

yaani majnun ke rahnuma hain ham

kyuun na ho dushmanon ke ghar matam

dost ke kushta-e-jafa hain ham

tum ko dil ki bhi hai kasu ke khabar

dil men khush ho ki dil-ruba hain ham

jis qadar ham ko samjhiye be-qadr

qadr men us se bhi siva hain ham

kyuun na mitti kharab ho apni

is kharabat ki bina hain ham

kis se rakhiye ghubar ai ‘maruf’

ek aalam ki khak-e-pa hain ham
