fikr kije to zamin-o-asman ki kijiye
baat apni hi nahin sare jahan ki kijiye

tazkira sahra-nashinon ka bhi rakhiye samne
baat jab bhi sakinan-e-gulistan ki kijiye

zindagi ko zindagi ki shakl deni ho to phir
baat hamdam imtihan dar imtihan ki kijiye

dil mein ghar karna hai duniya ke to sab se peshtar
kuchh durusti apne akhlaq-o-zaban ki kijiye

kuchh to us ki jaan-fishani ka use dijiye sila
yaad gahe gahe nazm-e-baghban ki kijiye

jis zaban ne aap ko bakhsha hai andaz-e-kalam
parwarish apne lahu se us zaban ki kijiye
