baat jitni tawil hoti hai
wo barae-dalil hoti hai

kaun samjha hai un ishaaron ko
jin se nafrat qatil hoti hai

rab ka tohfa hai fahm-e-insani
zist ki wo fasil hoti hai

hai wo khush-haal insan duniya mein
jis ki aadat jamil hoti hai

e'timad-o-yaqin rab par ho
zindagi khud-kafil hoti hai

sirf baham yaqin na hone par
dahr behad zalil hoti hai

log zar par nisar hain jis mein
dar-e-fani dakhil hoti hai

dam-e-sayyaad se nikalne ki
mehr-e-rab hi sabil hoti hai

ek ehsas hi ki daulat se
'faiz' duniya khalil hoti hai
