alam ki had hai kahan be-kasi kahan tak hai
hamare gham mein tumhaari khushi kahan tak hai

baja ki phul ki do roza zindagi hogi
kali se koi ye puchhe kali kahan tak hai

farishte sajda-e-tazim par hue majbur
mera niyaz meri bandagi kahan tak hai

nazar ka qasd hi kab tha tere jamal ki did
ye dekhna tha faqat raushni kahan tak hai

darindagi ka musalsal mahaz hai qaem
ye dekhne ke liye aadmi kahan tak hai

tumhaare nam se duniya mujhe pukar uthi
tumhaari zat se wabastagi kahan tak hai

niyaz-mandi ko ehsas dekhna ye hai
mizaj-e-husn ki aashuftagi kahan tak hai
