haq ka irfaan jo paaya to ali yaad aaya

dil me quraan samaaya to ali yaad aaya

aadam o nuh payambar ho ya hazrat isa

yunus o khizr ho ilyaas ya hazrat musa

waqt in par bhi jo aaya to ali yaad aaya

ghar tha allah ka maujud makin koyi na tha

koyi aayega yahaan ye bhi yaqeen koyi na tha

dar jo diwaar me aaya to ali yaad aaya

senkaro sur mathe aur pahelwaan hazaar

jo the khaibar me sabhi yaar magar mere yaar

mard ka zikr jab aaya to ali yaad aaya

jism ek ek se do tukre baraabar dekhe

khun ki barsaat huwi urhte huwe sar dekhe

ran me abbas jab aaya to ali yaad

neza o tir o tabar kya koyi khanjar na mila

laakh dhundha kahi kuffar ka lashkar na mila

saaf maidaan nazar aaya to ali aaya

apna kuch hosh na tha itni pareshaani thi

ghame dunya ne mujhe gher liya tha phir bhi

haath momin se milaaya to ali yaad aaya

yun to mein rat ta raha saare sawaal aur jawaab

par naqirein ne turbat me mujhe behre hisaab

aa ke jis waqt jagaaya to ali yaad aaya

zikr nabiyon ka suna khub ya ke baare digar

mein nuseri to nahi kheir se wallah magar

zikr allah ka aaya to ali yaad aaya

jo ke aqwaale payambar ko bhulaa bethe the

ham ali ko bhi nahi jaante jo kehte the

un ko miti me dabaaya to ali yaad aaya

qalbe baatil ko kayi tukron me bat te dekha

takht kya chiz hai darbaar ulat te dekha

khutba zainab ne sunaaya to ali yaad aaya

shabe meraaj ajab baat huwi ya gohar

sun ke aawaaze khuda chonk uthe payghamabar

jab nazar kuch nahi aaya to ali yaad aaya
