fahm-o-idrak ka husul samajh
main hun aadam mujhe rasul samajh

kaj-nigahi ko apni bhul samajh
aadamiyyat ke kuchh usul samajh

lazzat-e-kam-sawad kya mani
kasb kar yas ko fuzul samajh

reza-reza hai aaina dil ka
chehra chehra hai kyon malul samajh

tesha-e-waqt karbnak sahi
sham ko subh ka nuzul samajh

jah-o-mansab ki chah mein 'nashtar'
khud ko arzan na kar usul samajh
