khun-e-nahaq thi faqat duniya-e-ab-o-gil ki baat
ye hai mahshar kyun yahan ho daman-e-qatil ki baat

aaj kyun ashkon mein hai aks-e-tabassum jalwa-gar
aa gai kya apni had par gham ke mustaqbil ki baat

har nazar rangini-e-rukh tak pahunch kar rah gai
phul ab kis se kahen gulshan mein zakhm-e-dil ki baat

dekhte hi rah gae qanun-e-qudrat ahl-e-zabt
le udi khakistar-e-parwana jab mahfil ki baat

nakhuda hum aur tufan se karen fikr-e-farar
hum kabhi karte nahin sahil pe bhi sahil ki baat

ho na jae phir shuur-e-karwan nazr-e-fareb
chhed di hai rahbar ne aaj phir manzil ki baat

koi apna hai na koi hamdam-o-dard-ashna
ai khuda kis se kahe 'ejaz' apne dil ki baat
