aastane lahu mein tar dekhe
ibn-e-mariyam salib par dekhe

ye karishma hai dair-o-kaba ka
jalte aatish baghair ghar dekhe

dekhi taqdis nachte uryan
hanste us par haram ke dar dekhe

shama roi na hashr-e-mahfil par
lutte jazbaat ta-sahar dekhe

phul masle gae aqidat ke
jalwe mahmil ke dar-ba-dar dekhe

chashm-e-ibrat mein pad gae kante
dekhne wale be-basar dekhe

panw uthte nahin musafir ke
sanp ki tarah rahguzar dekhe

hum ko nisbat na ho sikandar se
hum bhatakte rahen khizar dekhe

'bakht' duba kuchh is tarah sahil
chashm-e-barbaad se bhanwar dekhe
