hai makin har shai mein wo kahte ho jis ko la-makan
be-basar ho tum 'sada' tum ko nazar aae kahan

be-khas-o-khashak kab ta'mir honge aashiyan
ba’is-e-takhrib hai tu kaise kah den ai khizan

lakh hai ikram tera hum ko ai mansur par
bund ko kaise bata hum kah den bahr-e-be-karan

kuchh to hai ehsas hum ko apni kam-bini ka bhi
ai nazar had ko teri hum kaise kah den aasman

hai bashar mana magar insan tujhe kaise kahen
kaise har patthar ko kah den ai 'sada' la’l-e-giran
