fariyaad sada-e-nafas aawaz-e-jaras hai
kya qafila-e-umr kun chalne ka hawas hai

jo saf-dil hai us mein kudurat ka asar nin
har-chand agar dushman-e-aina nafas hai

leta hun apas madrasa-e-dil mein sabaq main
us shokh murdarris ka wahan jab sun daras hai

yak lamha na ho mujh sun juda ai mah-e-taban
har aan tere hijr ka mujh haq mein baras hai

'daud' na kar pursish-e-mahshar sati kuchh khauf
wan aal-e-mohammad ki shafaat tujhe bas hai
