bagh-e-alam mein rahe shadi-o-matam ki tarah
phul ki tarah hanse ro diye shabnam ki tarah

shikwa karte ho khushi tum se manai na gai
hum se gham bhi to manaya na gaya gham ki tarah

roz mahfil se uthate ho to dil dukhta hai
ab nikalwao to phir hazrat-e-adam ki tarah

lakh hum rind sahi hazrat-e-waiz lekin
aaj tak hum ne na pi qibla-e-alam ki tarah

tere andaz-e-jarahat ke nisar ai qatil
khun zakhmon pe nazar aata hai marham ki tarah

khauf dil se na gaya subh ke hone ka 'qamar'
wasl ki raat guzari hai shab-e-gham ki tarah
