ba-sad khulus ba-tarz-e-nisab padh dalen
kitab-e-ishq ka har ek bab padh dalen

andhera aane pe ye ilm raushni dega
charagh bujhne se pahle kitab padh dalen

pas-e-hijab rukh-e-mahnaz padh na sake
ho aaj izn agar be-hijab padh dalen

ajab nahin ki naya azm dil mein paida ho
hamari kya thi kabhi aab-o-tab padh dalen

zamin pe bhi isi mizan ko karen qaem
falak pe darj khuda ka khitab padh dalen

qayas kijiye kya kya sawal aaenge
sawal aane se pahle jawab padh dalen

shurua god se ho gor tak rahe jari
hisab rakhiyega kya be-hisab padh dalen

mutalea ho maqale ka hai ye haq 'jawed'
mile na waqt to lubb-e-lubab padh dalen
