mahshar ka e'tibar hua hai kabhi kabhi
be-parda husn-e-yar hua hai kabhi kabhi

raqsan jamal-e-yar hua hai kabhi kabhi
parda mein intishaar hua hai kabhi kabhi

pahunchi hai khak-e-ashiq-e-barbaad arsh par
uncha agar ghubar hua hai kabhi kabhi

zahid tawaf karte hain us aastan ka hum
kabe mein jo shumar hua hai kabhi kabhi

paiman-shikan ke wade ke hamrah ai ajal
tera bhi intizar hua hai kabhi kabhi

ek sajda wo bhi be-khudi-e-iztirab mein
us aastan pe bar hua hai kabhi kabhi

daman-e-tang-o-josh-e-bahaaran ko dekh kar
andaza-e-bahaar hua hai kabhi kabhi

wo khud hi raaz ban gaya duniya ke waste
jo us ka raazdar hua hai kabhi kabhi

jaise wo aae baithe bhi uth kar chale gae
is darja e'tibar hua hai kabhi kabhi

wahdat parastiyon se bhi 'afqar' khuda gawah
barham mizaj-e-yar hua hai kabhi kabhi
