haft aflak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun
had-e-idrak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

main ne jis zat ko labbaik kaha hai us ke
jalwa-e-pak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

jis pe paiwand hi paiwand nazar aate the
aisi poshak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

mujh se puchhe koi insan kahan tak pahuncha
azm-e-bebak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

han meri zist ka hasil gham-e-dauran to nahin
chashm-e-namnak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

jis taraf dekhiye virani hi virani hai
khas-o-khashak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

har taraf ham-watanon khun-kharabe ke siwa
chashm-e-saffak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

aalam-e-khak meri zat ka har zarra hai
aalam-e-khak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

mere aflak se aage to faqat hun main hi
mere aflak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun

jaan ka hai apni jagah ek tasawwur 'rumi'
jasad-e-khak se aage kahin kuchh ho to kahun
