gosha-nashin hain anjuman-ara nahin hain hum
lekin ye moajiza hai ki tanha nahin hain hum

jab se mili hai daulat-e-irfan-o-agahi
duniya mein rah ke shamil-e-duniya nahin hain hum

mushkil nahin hai dosto taskhir-e-kaenat
afsos bas isi ka hai yakja nahin hain hum

farda ka khwab waqt ki aawaz hain janab
ek yaadgar-e-ahd-e-guzishta nahin hain hum

hasil hai hum ko lazzat-e-tauba khata ke baad
behtar hai aadmi hain farishta nahin hain hum

shadab hai hamin se tera gulshan-e-wajud
dariya hain jaan-e-arzu sahra nahin hain hum
