aadmi irtiqa ki ghaar mein tha
phir khuda tha to kis qatar mein tha

aql hi lai us ki chaukhat tak
dil kahan apne ikhtiyar mein tha

nekiyan raste mein bikhri thin
ilm tasbih ke hisar mein tha

jama tafriq ke sawalon se
talib-e-ilm intishaar mein tha

raste par to aa chala tha magar
aadmi darja-e-ghubar mein tha

tai hue fasle qayamat ke
warna ek lamha kis shumar mein tha

us ne laya mujhe wahan ki jahan
main khud apne hi intizar mein tha
