na kashti hai na fikr-e-na-khuda hai
dil-e-tufan-talab ka aasra hai

ilahi khair namus-e-wafa ki
unhen bhi fikr-e-namus-e-wafa hai

subuk-saran-e-sahil jaante hain
dil-e-sahil mein kya tufan bapa hai

nahin ye naghma-e-shor-e-salasil
bahaar-e-nau ke qadmon ki sada hai

farogh-e-mah kya aur kahkashan kya
ye mere mah-e-nau ki khak-e-pa hai

zamane ki ghulami ham-nafas kyun
zamana aadmi ki khak-e-pa hai

shikayat-ha-e-soz-e-tishnagi kyun
abhi 'saghar' dar-e-mai-khana-wa hai
