ab is se aur ibarat nahin koi sadi
ki mera khas hunar bhi raha khuda-dadi

khuda ki yaad hai khalwat mein is liye behtar
ki khud ko jaanega tanhaiyon mein fariyaadi

tum us ke bande bano wo ki jo dikhai na de
isi mein pinhan hai insan ramz-e-azadi

wo jaane wale hon hazir ki aane wale hon
sab ek khat mein khade hain ba-qaid-e-abaadi

bata sharafat-e-duniya bata ki khul jae
karega kab talak is dil mein khana-damadi

ye wahm fahm-e-haqiqat nahin haqiqat hai
ki bas haqiqat-e-duniya hai girya-e-shadi

ye sharq-o-gharb ke unche pahad khami hain
haqiqatan mujhe hasil hai jism-e-fauladi

hua na koi meri khu se khatir-ashufta
mera wajud hai misdaq-e-khana-abaadi

ruke thame na yahin tak naya safar 'tamjid'
dikhae kilk-e-sukhan aage aur ustadi
