buland himmat se aasman mein shigaf hum se nahin hua hai
shikast ka bhi abhi talak e'tiraf hum se nahin hua hai

ai bandagan-e-hawas abhi hum salamti jaan ki chahte hain
faqir-e-gosha-nashin hain par etakaf hum se nahin hua hai

larazte honton se phir dua ki qubuliyat ke hain muntazir hum
ye ek sach hai qusur apna muaf hum se nahin hua hai

kahan nigahon mein jal uthe hain bujhe talluq ke sare jugnu
hamara gham munfarid hai ye inkishaf hum se nahin hua hai

bayan dene ki ab zarurat hui hai mahsus to bolte hain
gunah koi pas-e-naqab-o-ghilaf hum se nahin hua hai

ghanim ki sharten puri sari hamare ahbab kar rahe hain
jo gard thi aaine pe dil ke wo saf hum se nahin hua hai

wirasat-e-zehn-o-dil ka phir masala koi hal-talab hai 'raunaq'
abhi talak ek zahin bachcha khilaf hum se nahin hua hai
