thahrega wahi ran mein jo himmat ka dhani hai
ye marka-e-khud-gari-o-khud-shikani hai

ho khair ki ai azmat-e-yazdan teri khatir
insan azal se hadaf-e-ahramani hai

tewar hi mere bhanp liye logon ne warna
duniya mein banae se kahan baat bani hai

pahunchenge teri bazm-e-dil-ara mein bhi ek roz
tarik khalaon mein abhi khema-zani hai

darta hun ki chupke se utar jae na dil mein
ye lamha-e-betab ki neze ki ani hai

ai ahl-e-junun dur nahin manzil-e-shirin
han bich mein ek marhala-e-koh-kani hai

minjumla-e-taqsir na ho ye bhi ki 'hurmat'
muddat hui be-wajh zamane se thani hai
