sharab-e-shor se labrez hai duniya ka paimana
harif-e-din-o-danish hai mazaq-e-pir-e-mai-khana

bashar iblis ko tazwir-e-nau ka dars deta hai
muzayyan hai gunah-e-gunagun se har pari-khana

ulum-e-nau se raushan bazm hai tahzib-e-hazir ki
yad-e-tajdid ne dhaala hai dil-awez but-khana

ye mana maghribi talim ne parwaz bakhshi hai
ye mah-o-khur bhi ban jaenge ab qindil ka shana

khuda ke chahne wale abhi tak bhole-bhaale hain
bana rakha hai harz-e-jaan sada mazi ka afsana

gunah-e-taza ki takhliq se iblis qasir hai
dimagh-e-fitna-ju par hai musallat zof-e-pirana

bahut majbur be-chaara hai khud pirana-sali se
use malum kya hai masiyat ka taza paimana

khuda wale tajjub hai ki masum-o-muqaddas hain
azab-e-nau-ba-nau se hai murassa aaina-khana

rah-e-tashkik par rakhsh-e-hunar paiham khiraman hai
bahut mushkil hai fitrat ka abhi taskhir farmana

musawat-e-nazar ka muddaton se shor sunta hun
faza duniya ki hai lekin abhi tak firqa-warana

hawas ka dars to yaro bahut hi khub hai lekin
abhi quran ki tafhim se aajiz hai farzana

buton ka todna tha kar-e-asan ahd-e-mazi mein
wale mushkil hai dhana aaj ki hikmat ka but-khana

qulub-e-asr-e-hazir mein abhi iman dhal jae
faqiron ka nahin dekha hai ejaz-e-kalimana

tafakhur ke marizon ke liye iksir hoti hai
sarasar banda-e-'bebak' ki tarz-e-faqirana
