fikr hi Thahri to dil ko fikr-e-KHuban kyun na ho

MORE BYJosh Malihabadi

    fikr Thahrī to dil ko fikr-e-ḳhūbāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ḳhaak honā hai to ḳhāk-e-kū-e-jānāñ kyuuñ na ho

    dahr meñ ai ḳhvāja Thahrī jab asīrī nā-guzīr

    dil asīr-e-halqa-e-gesū-e-pechāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ziist hai jab mustaqil āvāragardī naam

    aql vaalo phir tavāf-e-kū-e-jānāñ kyuuñ na ho

    jab nahīñ mastūriyoñ meñ bhī gunāhoñ se najāt

    dil khule bandoñ ġharīq-e-bahr-e-isyāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ik na ik hañgāme par mauqūf hai jab zindagī

    mai-kade meñ rind raqsāñ o ġhazal-ḳhvāñ kyuuñ na ho

    jab ḳhush o nā-ḳhush kisī ke haath meñ denā hai haath

    ham-nashīñ phir bai.at-e-jām-e-zar-afshāñ kyuuñ na ho

    jab bashar dastaras se duur hai hablul-matīñ

    dasht-e-vahshat meñ phir ik kāfir dāmāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ek hai jab shor-e-jahl o bāñg-e-hikmat ma.aal

    dil halāk-e-zauq-e-gulbāñg-e-pareshāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ik na ik rif.at ke aage sajda lāzim hai to phir

    aadmī mahv-e-sujūd-e-sarv-e-ḳhūbāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ik na ik phande meñ phañsnā hai jab insān ko

    dosh par dām-e-siyāh-e-sumbulistāñ kyuuñ na ho

    jab fareboñ meñ rahnā hai to ai ahl-e-ḳhirad

    lazzat-e-paimān bār-e-sust-paimāñ kyuuñ na ho

    yaañ jab āvezish Thahrī hai to zarre chhoḌ kar

    aadmī ḳhurshīd se dast-o-garebāñ kyuuñ na ho

    ik na ik zulmat se jab vābasta rahnā hai to 'josh'

    zindagī par sāya-e-zulf-e-pareshāñ kyuuñ na ho

    fikr hi Thahri to dil ko fikr-e-KHuban kyun na ho

    KHak hona hai to KHak-e-ku-e-jaanan kyun na ho

    dahr mein ai KHwaja Thahri jab asiri na-guzir

    dil asir-e-halqa-e-gesu-e-pechan kyun na ho

    zist hai jab mustaqil aawaragardi hi ka nam

    aql walo phir tawaf-e-ku-e-jaanan kyun na ho

    jab nahin masturiyon mein bhi gunahon se najat

    dil khule bandon ghariq-e-bahr-e-isyan kyun na ho

    ek na ek hangame par mauquf hai jab zindagi

    mai-kade mein rind raqsan o ghazal-KHwan kyun na ho

    jab KHush o na-KHush kisi ke hath mein dena hai hath

    ham-nashin phir baiat-e-jam-e-zar-afshan kyun na ho

    jab bashar ki dastaras se dur hai hablul-matin

    dasht-e-wahshat mein phir ek kafir ka daman kyun na ho

    ek hai jab shor-e-jahl o bang-e-hikmat ka maal

    dil halak-e-zauq-e-gulbang-e-pareshan kyun na ho

    ek na ek rifat ke aage sajda lazim hai to phir

    aadmi mahw-e-sujud-e-sarw-e-KHuban kyun na ho

    ek na ek phande hi mein phansna hai jab insan ko

    dosh par dam-e-siyah-e-sumbulistan kyun na ho

    jab farebon mein hi rahna hai to ai ahl-e-KHirad

    lazzat-e-paiman bar-e-sust-paiman kyun na ho

    yan jab aawezish hi Thahri hai to zarre chhoD kar

    aadmi KHurshid se dast-o-gareban kyun na ho

    ek na ek zulmat se jab wabasta rahna hai to 'josh'

    zindagi par saya-e-zulf-e-pareshan kyun na ho
