ai sahab-e-waqt mujh ko dekh kar thahra na kar
dhup sar par daimi hai aarzi saya na kar

aashiqi shaistagi-o-raaz-dari ka hai nam
khud bhi be-parwa na ho mujh ko bhi be-parwa na kar

zinda rahna mohlat-e-imroz mein hai zindagi
dosh-o-farda ka maal ai be-khabar socha na kar

khaliq-e-manzil hai tu rakh apni himmat par yaqin
raste mein naqsh-e-pa-e-rahnuma dhunda na kar

sadgi par main teri sau jaan se qurban hun
yun ba-andaz-tasannoa samne aaya na kar

baad ke hathon mein kuchh kankar hain dasht-o-koh ke
narm mitti se uge ai nakhl sar uncha na kar

dhadkanon ke zer-o-bam se raaz ho jate hain fash
ai dil-e-betab is andaz se dhadka na kar

aankhon aankhon mein bayan kar har haqiqat 'raaz' ki
kan diwaron ke bhi hote hain lab khola na kar
