Mareez-e-Muhabbat unhi ka fasaana

کبھی کہا نہ کسی سے ترے فسانے کو

کبھی کہا نہ کسی سے ترے فسانے کو

نہ جانے کیسے خبر ہوگئی زمانے کو

سنا ہے غیر کی محفل میں تم نہ جاؤ گے

کہو تو آج سجا لوں غریب خانے کو

دعا بہار کی مانگی تو اتنے پھول کھلے

کہیں جگہ نہ ملی میرے آشیانے کو

چمن میں جانا تو صیاد دیکھ کر جانا

اکیلے چھوڑ کر آیا ہوں آشیانے کو

مری لحد پہ پتنگوں کا خون ہوتا ہے

حضور شمع نہ لایا کریں جلانے کو

دبا کہ قبر میں سب چل دیۓ دعا نہ سلام

ذرا سی دیر میں کیا ہوگیا زمانے کو

اب آگے اس میں تمہارا بھی نام آیٔگا

جو حکم ہو تو یہیں چھوڑ دوں فسانے کو

قمر ذرا بھی نہیں تم کو خوفِ رسوایٔ

چلے ہو چاندنی شب میں انہیں بلانے کو

Kab mera nasheman ehle chaman

"Funny tales ever told you not to tell anyone How the news was not age

You will not get heard in the concert So today I will tell the poor box set

So I asked for spring flowers open Foundation no place for my items

If I go to see Chaman bondage Items "ve left alone

Plagues of insects on singer"s murder Do not burn candles brought before the

Given that all go down into the grave to pray for peace I was a little late age

Now in it"s name ayga If the trap is to leave here

Qamar not the slightest fear you cook Are going to call them in the moonlit night".
