kaun-o-makan se dur zamin-o-zaman se dur
manzil meri hai jannat-o-khuld-o-adan se dur

ta-umr jis ka jism raha pairahan se dur
nauhagar us ki lash bhi rakkhen kafan se dur

pal chhan nikal rahi hain gharibon ki arthiyan
is taur ho rahi hai gharibi watan se dur

aankhen baras rahi hain chaman ki hudud mein
baadal baras rahe hain hudud-e-chaman se dur

koi yahan to koi wahan sirf kar-e-khwesh
gulchin darun-e-bagh shikari chaman se dur

jaanbaz hai to bhag ke dar-o-rasan ko chum
mansur hai to bhag na dar-o-rasan se dur

aab-e-hayat se bhi na hoga ilaj-e-gham
honge ye taza gham na sharab-e-kuhan se dur
