charagh aankh ki sab boliyan samajhte hain
ye hum se puchh jo aisi zaban samajhte hain

baha ke le gaya sab khadd-o-khal ahd-e-shabab
hum aaine ko bhi aab-e-rawan samajhte hain

hamein azal se mohabbat sikhai jati hai
hum ahl-e-harf yahi ek zaban samajhte hain

jahan yaqin ke tajassus ki aankh band na ho
use ilaqa-e-wahm-o-guman samajhte hain

utha chuka hai takallum tamam parde magar
hum an-kahi ko abhi darmiyan samajhte hain

tabah ki gai duniyaon ka ghubar na ho
hum ahal-e-khak jise kahkashan samajhte hain

hamara bojh kisi aur ne uthaya nahin
to hum bhi kya use bar-e-garan samajhte hain
