dana hue buzurg hue rahnuma hue
wo din ki hum the sham-e-majalis hawa hue

un ko nahin dimagh-e-talazzuz jahan mein
jo ibtida se waqf-e-gham-e-intiha hue

khurshed ki nigah se shabnam hai mushtahar
wo aashna hue hain to sab aashna hue

manzil hai shahryari-e-alam to dekhna
is rah mein hazaron qabile fana hue

had se ziyaada hum ne khushamad buton ki ki
ye log badhte badhte bil-akhir khuda hue

is ka bhi kuchh hisab karenge ba-roz-e-hashr
nale azal se kitne sipurd-e-saba hue

karte rahe huzur pe takiya akhir tak
hum aasare ke hone se be-asra hue

kis din hamara hirs-o-hawa se bari tha dil
kis roz hum se apne farize ada hue
