ab tegh ki baaten hain na talwar ki baaten
karte nahin diwane bhi ab dar ki baaten

har hath masiha hai to har god hai mariyam
bimar samajh lete hain bimar ki baaten

kahte hain magar ghair se afsana-e-jaanan
jaanan se kiye jate hain aghyar ki baaten

aadab-e-rifaqat se shanasa hui jab se
bulbul ne aqidat se suni khar ki baaten

tapte hue suraj ke tale unghta bachcha
karte raho us se gul o ashjar ki baaten

paband-e-salasil hai use khul ke sunao
zanjir ke qisse kabhi jhankar ki baaten

rakh rakh ke taraazu mein mera daftar-e-amal
tolenge gunahgar gunahgar ki baaten

khamoshi mein pinhan hai mere dard ki aawaz
baaton se alawa hain dil-e-zar ki baaten
