apni nazir aap rahe hum jahan rahe
zor-azma agarche zaman-o-makan rahe

raste hamare panw se lipte rahe sada
hum teri justuju hi mein ai mehrban rahe

jis ko tere huzur mein milti na ho jagah
wo kis ke dar pe jae wo aakhir kahan rahe

tu ai bahaar hum ko mitane pe tul gai
hum to tamam umr tere raaz-dan rahe

is waqt jab ki log masarrat-nawaz the
hum hi gham-e-habib tere pasban rahe

wo paikar-e-khulus hai wo aarzu-e-dil
ai 'soz' us ka nam hi wird-e-zaban rahe
