gham-e-dauran ka mudawa gham-e-jaanan bhi nahin
zist dushwar nahin hai to kuchh aasan bhi nahin

arsa-e-dahr se hum ahl-e-junun ko nisbat
is ki wusat ba-had-e-alam-e-imkan bhi nahin

har-nafas ek khalish si hai rag-e-jaan ke qarib
aur nashtar koi paiwast-e-rag-e-jaan bhi nahin

dekhiye waqt ne kis kis ke udae purze
un ka daman bhi nahin mera gareban bhi nahin

ek hi mard-e-haq-agah hai banda ya-rab
ki ye kafir jo nahin hai to musalman bhi nahin

manzil-e-gham se guzarna hai aur is par 'jabir'
dasht-e-wahshat mein kisi shokh ka daman bhi nahin
