baitha hun sar-e-rah tamasha-e-rawan hai
simta hua piri ki nigahon mein jahan hai

paya tujhe jis ne tujhe har chiz mein paya
pane ki yahi ek dalil ek nishan hai

har wusat-e-kaunain hai ek aankh ke til mein
ek harf mein kun ke baham asbab-e-fakan hai

ishrak mein aghraq mein hain aan-o-dawam ek
hai munjamid ek bahr to ek sarw rawan hai

urdu-e-mualla jise kahta hai zamana
wo wirsa-e-aslaf hai wo meri zaban hai

us shakhs ki mutthi mein hai sad-nau-e-karamat
'diwana' ki hai khanda-jabin azb-e-bayan hai
