Misal-e-sang kharra hai usi haseen ki tarah

Makan ki shakal bhi dekho dil-e-makeen ki tarah

Mala'imat hai andheray main us ki saanson se

Damak rahi hain woh aankhein harray rangeen ki tarah

Nawah-e-qariya hai sunsaan sham-e-sarma main

Kisi qadeem zamanay ki sar'zameen ki tarah

Zameen door se tara dikhai deti hai

Ruka hai us pe qamar chasham-e-seez , main ki tarha

Farab deti hai wusat-e-nazar ki ufqon par

Hai koi cheez wahan sehar-e-neelmein ki tarah

Munir Ehad hai ab aakhir musafat ka

Keh chal rahi hai hawa-e-baad wapisein ki tarah

Barishon main us se ja kay milnay ki hasrat kahan

Kooknay do koyel ko , ab mujhay farsat kahan

Jee to kehta hai keh us ko sath hi rakhein magar

Apnay paas is husan Aaish angez ki qeemat kahan

Talkh us ko kar diya arbaab-e-qariya ne bhout

Warna ik shair kay dil main is qadar nafrat kahan

Rok saktay thay ussay hum ibtida kay dour main

Ab hamein dewangi-e-shaher par qudrat kahan

Daikhta hoon her taraf , shayed dikhai de kabhi

Par firakh-e-dasht main aadam ki woh surat kahan

Aik manzil yeh bhi thi khawabon ki warna Ae Munir

Main kahan aur us diyar-e-ghair ki ghurbat kahan

Aa gayi yaad sham dhaltay hi

Bujh gaya dil chragh jaltay hi

Khul gaye shaher-e-gham kay darwaze

Ik zara si hu kay chaltay hi

Kon tha tu , keh phir na dekha tujhay

Mitt gaya khawab aankh maltay hi

Khouf aata hai apnay hi ghar se

Mah-e-shab-e-taab kay nikaltay hi

Tu bhi jaisay badal sa jata hai

Aks-e-dewar kay badaltay hi

Khoon sa lag gaya hai haathon main

Charh gaya zehar gul masaltay hi

Yeh kaisa nasha hai , main kis ajab khumaar main hoon

Tu aa kay ja bhi chuka hai , main intizar main hoon

Makan hai qabar , jissay log khud banatay hain

Main apnay ghar main hoon ya main kis mazaar main hoon

Dar-e-faisal khula , ya pahar siray se hatta

Main ab giri hui galiyon kay marg zaar main hoon

Main hoon bhi aur nahin bhi , ajeeb baat hai

Yeh kaisa jabar hai main kis kay ikhtiyaar main hoon

Munir daikh shajar , chand aur dewarein

Hawa khizan ki hai sar par , shab-e-bahar main hoon

Koi hadd nahin hai kamal ki

Koi had nahin hai jamal ki

Wohi qarb-o-door ki manzalein

Wohi shaam khawab-o-khayal ki

Na mujhay hi us ka pata koi

Na ussay khabar meray haal ki

Yeh jawab meri sada ka hai

Keh sada hai us kay sawal ki

Yeh nimaz-e-asar ka waqat hai

Yeh gharri hai din kay zawal ki

Woh qiyamatein jo guzar gayein

Thi amanatein kai saal ki

Hai Munir teri nigah main

Koi baat gehray malaal ki

Aur hain kitni manzalein baqi

Jaan kitni hai jisam main baqi

Zinda logon ki bood-o-baash main hain

Murda logon ki aadatein baqi

Us se milna woh khawab-e-hasti main

Khawab madoom , hasratein baqi

Beh gaye rang-o-noor kay chashmay

Reh gayein un ki rangeen baqi

Jin kay honay se hum bhi hai Ae awal

Shaher main hain woh suratein baqi

Woh to aa kay , munir ! ja bhi chuka

Ik mehak si hai baagh main baqi

Main sun raha hoon ussay jo sunai deta nahin

Main daikhta hoon ussay jo dikhai deta nahin

Bhout qiyaas ki khawaish safar main aati hai

Talism sham-e-ghareeban rihai deta nahin

Hai shouq-e-anjuman araai husan ko bhi , magar

Majaal is ko gham ro'numai deta nahin

Wisal arz-o-sama ka samaa hai jaisay koi

Andhera itna ho , kuch sujhai deta nahin

Munir khol de barh kar dar diyar-e-nida

Khamosh rehta hai kiyon ab duhai deta nahin

Chand nikla hai sar qariya-e-zulmat daikho

Ho gayi kaisi siyah khano ki rangat daikho

Samnay jo hai ussay aankh ka dhoka samjho

In dariyaon ko sada khawab ki surat daikho

Sair hai jaisay koi , aisay jahan se guzro

Door tak phaila hai ik arsa-e-furqat daikho

Khouf deta hai yahan abar main tanha hona

Shaher-e-dar band main dewaron ki kasrat daikho

Zar ki parchaiyan jo parti hai chamak uth'ta hai

Aadam khaak ki be'hoshi main halat daikho

saya un par bhout bhooli hui yadon ka

Shaam aayi hai pari zaron main wehshat daikho

Dagha hai is kay na honay se dilon main ab tak

Urr gaya misal-e-saba , gul ki haqeeqat daikho

Junglon main koi peechay se bula'ey to Munir

Murr kay rastay main kabhi us ki taraf mat daikho

Aaina ab juda nahin karta

Qaid main hoon , riha nahin karta

Mustaqil sabar main hai koh-e-garan

Naqsh-e-ibrat sada nahin karta

Rang mehfil badalta rehta hai

rang koi nahin karta

Aaish-e-duniya ki justago mat kar

Yeh dafeena mila nahin karta

Jee main aaye jo kar guzarta hai

Tu kisi ka kaha nahin karta

aik waris hamesha hota hai

Takhat khaali raha nahin karta

Ehad-e-insaaf aa raha hai Munir

Zulam da'im hua nahin karta

Kaisi kaisi be'samar yadon kay badlon main rahay

Hum bhi itni zindagi kaisay wabalon main rahay

Ik nazar bandi ka aalam thi nagar ki zindagi

Qaid main rehtay thay jab tak shaher walon main rahay

Hum agar hotay to miltay tujh se bhi jaan-e-jahan

Khawab thay , na'paid duniya kay malalon main rahay

Woh chamakna barq ka dasht-o-dar-o-dewar par

Saray manzir ik pal us kay ujalon main rahay

Kya thein woh batein jo kehna chahtay thay waqat-e-marg

Aakhri dam-e-yaar apnay kin khayalon main rahay

Door tak maskan thay ban un ki sadaon kay Munir

Dair tak un nariyon kay gham shawalon main rahay

Nashaib weham faraz guraiz-e-pa kay liye

Hisar-e-khaak hai par her intiha kay liye

Wafoor-e-nasha se rangat siyah si hai meri

Jala hoon main ajab chasham-e-surma kay liye

Hai ird gird ghanna ban harray darakhton ka

Khula hai kisi dewar main hawa kay liye

Zameen hai maskan-e-shar , aasman sarab alood

Hai sara ehad alood main kisi khat'ta kay liye

Aseeri pas-e-aaina baqa aur tu

Nikal kay aa bhi wahan se kabhi Khuda kay liye

Kharra hoon zer-e-falak gumbad-e-sada main Munir

Keh jaisay haath utha ho koi dua kay liye

Safar main hai jo azal se yeh woh bala hi na ho

Kawar khol kay dekho , kahin hawa hi na ho

Nigah-e-aaina maloom aks na'maloom

Dikhai deta hai jo asal main chupa hi na ho

Zameen kay gird bhi pani , zameen ki teh main bhi

Yeh shaher jam kay kharra hai jo tairata hi na ho

Na ja keh us se paray dasht-e-marg ho shayed

Palatna chahye wahan se to raasta hi na ho

Main is khayal se jata nahin watan ki taraf

Keh mujh ko daikh kay us butt ka jee bura na ho

Kati hai jis kay khayalon main umar apnu Munir

Maza to jab hai keh us shokh ko pata hi na ho

Shaam kay maskan main veeran may'kadar ka dar khula

Baab khuli guzri sohbaton ka khawab kay andar khula

Kuch na tha juz khawab-e-wehshat woh wafa is ehad ki

Raaz itni dair ka is umar main aa kar khula

Jag'maga utha andheray main meri aahat se woh

Yeh ajeeb is butt ka meri aankh par johar khula

Ban main sar'goshi hui Asaar-e-aabru baad se

Band gham se jaisay ik ashjaar ka lashkar khula

Sabza-e-no rasta ki khushbu thi sahil par Munir !

Badalon ka rang chatri ki tarah char par khula

Thak'kay logon ko majburi main chaltay daikh leta hoon

Main bas ki khirkiyon main se yeh tamashay daikh leta hoon

Kabhi dil main udasi ho to in main ja nikalta hoon

Puranay doston ko chup se baithay daikh leta hoon

Chupatay hain bhout woh garmi-e-dil ko , magar main bhi

Gul-e-rukh par urri rangat kay cheentay daikh leta hoon

Kharra ho youn kisi khaali qillay kay sehan-e-veeran main

Keh jaisay main zameno main dafeenay daikh leta hoon

Munir andaza-e-qar fana karna ho jab mujh ko

Kisi oonchi jaga se jhuk kay neechay daikh leta hoon

Abhi mujhay ik dasht-e-sada ki veerani se guzarna hai

Aik musafat khatam hui hai , aik safar abhi karna hai

Giri hui deewaron main jakray se huye darwazon ki

Khaakstar si dehleezon par sard hawaon ne darna hai

Dartay jana hai dasht-o-jal ne tanhai ki haibat se

Aadhi raat ko jab mehtaab ne tareeki se ubharna hai

Yeh to abhi aaghaz hai jaisay is pehnaye hairat ka

Aankh ne sanwar jana hai rang ne aur nikharna hai

Jaisay zar ki peelahat main moj-e-khoon utar'ti hai

Zehar-e-zar kay tund nashay ne deeda-e-dil main utarna hai

Nagar main shaam ho gayi hai ka'hish-e-mo'aash main

Zameen pe phir rahay hain log rizq ki talash main

Guzar gayi tamam umar is hisar-e-tang main

Kashish hai ik mareez si makan ki bu-do-baash main

Hilal harfe-khouf sa faisal sang-e-neel par

Hai ya adm ka zard rang khwaish-e-kharaash main

Munir husan-e-batini ko koi daikhta nahin

Mata-e-chasham kho gayi libaas ki traash main

Aseer-e-khawaish Qaid-e-maqam tu hai keh main

Nizam shams-o-qamar ka ghulam tu hai keh main

Hai dono main zaahir , hai kon tu hai keh main

Chuppa hua hai jo nazron se daam , tu hai keh main

Nu'maish meh'kamil pe kis ka saya hai

Yeh is kay charon taraf abar-e-shaam tu hai keh main

Urra hai rang dar-o-baam-o-baran se

Nagar ki is ghanni chup main madaam tu hai keh main

Makan-e-door se aati hai ik sada si Munir

Bhula diya jissay sab ne woh naam tu hai keh main

Saray manzir aik jaisay , sari batein aik si

Saray din hain aik se aur sari ratein aik si

Be'nateeja be'samar jung-o-jadal sood-o-ziyan

Sari jeetein aik jaisi , sari matein aik si

Sab mulaqaton ka maqsad kar-o-baar zar'garri

Sab ki dehshat aik jaisi , sab ki ghatein aik si

Ab kisi main aglay waqaton ki wafa baqi nahin

Sab qabeelay aik se hain ab , sari zaatein aik si

Aik hi rukh ki aseeri khawab se , shehron ka ab

In kay matam aik se , in ki baratein aik si

Hoon agar zer-e-zameen to faida honay ka kya

Sang-o-gohar aik hain phir sari dhatein aik si

Ae Munir ! Azad ho is sehar-e-yak'rangi se tu

Ho gaye sab zehar yak'san , sab bana'tein aik si

Ghairon se mil kar hi sahi , be'baak to hua

Baray woh shokh pehlay se chalak to hua

Jee khush hua hai girtay makano ko daikh kar

Yeh shaher-e-khouf khud se jiger chaak to hua

Yeh to hua keh aadmi poncha hai maah tak

Kuch bhi hua , woh waqif-e-aflaak to hua

Kuch aur woh , hua na hua mujh ko daikh kar

Yaad bahar-e-husan se gham naak to hua

Is kash'ma'kash main hum bhi thakay to hain ae Munir

Shaher-e-Khuda sitam se magar paak to hua

Rehta hai ik haraas sa qadmon kay sath sath

Chalta hai dasht , dasht nooron kay sath sath

Hathon ka rabt harf-e-khafi se ajeeb hai

Hiltay hain raaz ki baton kay sath sath

Uth'ti hui faseel-e-faghan had-e-shaher par

Galiyon ki chup qadeem makano kay sath sath

Suraj ki aab zehar hai rangon ki aab ko

Hai door tak bukhaar sa baghon kay sath sath

Ariyan hua hai mah-e-shab aabru baad main

Jaisay safaid roshni gharon kay sath sath

Aya hoon main Munir kisi kaam kay liye

Rehta hai khayal sa khawabon kay sath sath

Yeh aankh kiyon hai yeh haath kya hai

Yeh din hai kya cheez raat kya hai

Firaaq khorasheed-o-mah kiyon hai

Yeh us ka aur mera sath kya hai

Guman hai kya is sanam kaday par

Khayal marg-o-hayat kya hai

Faghan hai kis kay liye dilon main

Kharosh dariya-e-zaat kya hai

Zameen pe harf-e-nijaat kya hai

Hai kon kis kay liye parishan

Pata to de asal baat kya hai

Be'lams kiyon rai'gaan hamesha

Fana main khouf-e-sibaat kya hai

Munir is shaher-e-gham zada par

Tera yeh sehar nishat kya hai

Ik musafat paon shal karti hui si khawab main

Ik safar gehra musal'sal zardi-e-mehtaab main

Tez hai lu-e-shagoofa , haye marg-e-na'gahan

Ghir gayi khaak zameen jaisay hisaar-e-aab main

Hasil jehd-e-musal'sal , mustaqil aar'zadgi

Kaam karta hoon main justaju-e-na'yaab main

Tang karti hai makan main khawaish sair-e-baseet

Hai asar da'im falak ka sehan ki mehraab main ae Munir

Ab is qadar khamoshiyan , yeh kya hua !

Yeh sifat aayi kahan se para-e-see'maab main

Imtihan hum ne diye is daar-e-fani main bhout

Ranj kheenchay hum ne apni la'imkani main bhout

Woh nahin us sa to hai khawab-e-bahar-e-jawidan

Asal ki khushbu urri hai us kay sani main bhout

Raat din kay aanay janay main yeh sona jaagna

Fikar walon ko patay hain is nishani main bhout

Koyelein kookein bhout dewar-e-gulshan ki taraf

Chand-o-maka hoz kay shafaaf pani main bhout

Us ko kya yaad thein kya aur , kis jaga pe reh gayein

Tez hai dariya-e-dil apni rawani main bhout

Aaj is mehfil main tujh ko bolta dekha Munir

Tu keh jo mashoor tha youn be'zubani main bhout

Khumar-e-shab main , ussay main salam kar baitha

Jo kaam karna tha mujh ko , woh kaam kar baitha

Qaba-e-zard pehan kar woh bazam main aaya

Gul-e-hina ko hatheli main thaam kar baitha

Chupa gaya tha mohabbat ka raaz main to magar

Woh bhol'pan main sukhan-e-dil ko aam kar baitha

Jo so kay utha to rasta ujaar lagta tha

Ponchna tha mujhay manzil pe , shaam kar baitha

Thakan safar ki badan main shal sa kar gayi be'Munir

Bura kiya jo safar main qayaam kar baitha

Idher udher ki lakhon batein

Na'haq se milnay hum bhi itni door gaye

Idher udher ki lakhon batein

Asal jo thi wohi baat na ki

Bhout fasanay duniya bhar kay

Asal kahani yaad na thi

Wohi shanasa aankhein jin main

meri koi pehchan na thi

Wohi gulabi hont thay jin par

Meray liye muskan na thi

Us kay baad bhout din thehra

Us anjani basti main

Bhout dino tak khaak uraai

Is mai'daan-e-hasti main

Us kay siwa bhi log bhout thay

Husan kay jalway aur bhi thay

Woh bhi us se nahin mila phir

Hum bhi us se nahin milay

Koi hai sheesha-o-sharab main mast

Koi hai lazzat-e-shabab main mast

Mubtala hain sabhi kahin na kahin

Main bhi hoon apnay khawab main mast

Yeh kaisa raag hai yaro ! dasht-o-dar se utha hai

Agar main raah ro hota

Yeh kaisa raag hai yaro ! dasht-o-dar se utha hai

Yeh jin jin bastiyon kay paas se ho kar guzarta hai

Unhein ta'raaj karta aur aagay aur aagay barhta jata hai

Agar main raah ro hota us kay saath jata main

Main apni aankh s bar'badiyon kay woh manazar dekhta

Aur Aah bharta .............
