jab aql ne kar Daalā jazbāt se samjhauta
ham kyuuñ na kareñ apne hālāt se samjhauta

jiine ke liye āḳhir karnā hī paḌā mujh ko
din raat kī gardish meñ din raat se samjhauta

hālāt badalne meñ kuchh der nahīñ lagtī
behtar hai abhī kar leñ hālāt se samjhauta

jab us ne jhalak dekhī pastī meñ bulandī kī
sūraj ne kiyā baḌh kar zarrāt se samjhauta

āsān nahīñ apnī auqāt samajh lenā
mushkil hai bahut apnī auqāt se samjhauta

kī yuuñ to mire nafs-e-sarkash ne bahut koshish
TuuTā na mire sar kā sajdāt se samjhauta

har samt fazāoñ se barse to lahū barse
ye kis ne kiyā chhup kar barsāt se samjhauta

jab dil ke taqāzoñ ko ḳhud aql hī Thukrā de
tab ho bhī to kaise ho jazbāt se samjhauta

hālāt ne samjhauta ai 'sāz' kiyā mujh se
maiñ ne na kiyā apne hālāt se samjhauta

jab aql ne kar Dala jazbaat se samjhauta
hum kyun na karen apne haalat se samjhauta

jine ke liye aaKHir karna hi paDa mujh ko
din raat ki gardish mein din raat se samjhauta

haalat badalne mein kuchh der nahin lagti
behtar hai abhi kar len haalat se samjhauta

jab us ne jhalak dekhi pasti mein bulandi ki
suraj ne kiya baDh kar zarraat se samjhauta

aasan nahin apni auqat samajh lena
mushkil hai bahut apni auqat se samjhauta

ki yun to mere nafs-e-sarkash ne bahut koshish
TuTa na mere sar ka sajdat se samjhauta

har samt fazaon se barse to lahu barse
ye kis ne kiya chhup kar barsat se samjhauta

jab dil ke taqazon ko KHud aql hi Thukra de
tab ho bhi to kaise ho jazbaat se samjhauta

haalat ne samjhauta ai 'saz' kiya mujh se
main ne na kiya apne haalat se samjhauta
