wo ba-zahir ayan nahin hota
phir bhi sab se nihan nahin hota

wo agar mehrban nahin hota
ye mukammal jahan nahin hota

is hunar se wo zakhm dete hain
jin ka koi nishan nahin hota

khud se karta hun zikr mazi ka
jab koi ham-zaban nahin hota

phir se dega koi sada mujh ko
ab to ye bhi guman nahin hota

hai yaqinan koi kami apni
warna wo bad-guman nahin hota

darmiyan thi koi ana warna
main yahan wo wahan nahin hota

aazmaish hamari barson se
is tarah imtihan nahin hota

jin ke zehnon mein be-niyazi ho
un ka koi jahan nahin hota
