duniya se aql-o-faham ke aasar mar gae
sae to ji uthe dar-o-diwar mar gae

kashti-e-zist par na lag pai le ke wo
aql-o-khirad ka hath mein patwar mar gae

jin ko tha khauf maut ka apni hayat mein
ek bar kya mare wo kai bar mar gae

tha imtihan-e-shauq kya naqd-e-jaan qubul
ho kar khushi se hum bade sarshaar mar gae

khushbu uda ke lae the daman-e-yar se
is muddaa-e-shauq ke izhaar mar gae

jannat mili na hur gaya ittiqa kahan
malte hain 'dard' hath ki be-kar mar gae
