dil kiye taskhir bakhsha faiz-e-ruhani mujhe
hubb-e-qaumi ho gaya naqsh-e-sulaimani mujhe

manzil-e-ibrat hai duniya ahl-e-duniya shad hain
aisi dil-jami se hoti hai pareshani mujhe

jaanchta hun wusat-e-dil hamla-e-gham ke liye
imtihan hai ranj-o-hirman ki farawani mujhe

haq-parasti ki jo main ne but-parasti chhod kar
barhaman kahne lage ilhad ka bani mujhe

kulfat-e-duniya mite bhi to sakhi ke faiz se
hath dhone ko mile bahta hua pani mujhe

khud-parasti mit gai qadr-e-mohabbat badh gai
matam-e-ahbab hai talim-e-ruhani mujhe

qaum ka gham mol le kar dil ka ye aalam hua
yaad bhi aati nahin apni pareshani mujhe

zarra zarra hai mere kashmir ka mehman-nawaz
rah mein patthar ke tukdon ne diya pani mujhe

lucknow mein phir hui aarasta bazm-e-sukhan
baad muddat phir hua zauq-e-ghazal-khwani mujhe
