daman-e-zist ko iman se bhar bhi dena
ai khuda meri duaon mein asar bhi dena

ye tere zikr se ghafil na ho ek lamha bhi
khana-e-dil ko teri yaad se bhar bhi dena

tere jalwon se ho pur-nur mera khana-e-dil
ho tadap jis mein mujhe aisi nazar bhi dena

ye kisi aur ke aage na jhuke tere siwa
sar mein sauda ho tera bas wahi sar bhi dena

teri khatir hamein jine ka hunar aata hai
hum ko aata hai tere nam pe sar bhi dena

jis se mil jae mujhe manzil-e-hasti meri
ai khuda mujh ko wahi azm-e-safar bhi dena

kor-binon ko tu chahe to basirat de de
tu samajhta hai kise aisi nazar bhi dena

wo bhi 'maqsud' hain arbab-e-nazar mein shamil
un ko lazim hai tujhe dad-e-hunar bhi dena
