dida-e-shauq ashk jari kar
khushk hasrat ki aabiyari kar

lamha-e-fikr ho ayan na kahin
fasl-e-ummid parda-dari kar

ek din apni dastaras mein ho
ek din zindagi hamari kar

ek bharpur sans khinch sakun
aur phir us mein ustuwari kar

zindagi ke usul apni jagah
baat kar aur karobari kar

meri fard-e-amal chhupa ke rakh
aur tazir mujh pe jari kar

ek darwesh ne kaha 'iqrar'
fan ke ashhab pe ja sawari kar
