har jaan ko yahan khatir-e-manzil-ba-safar hai
maqsud-e-jahan kaamil-e-ashya-e-hunar hai

khakistar-e-anwar lahu ban ke tajalli
aaza-e-bashar mein koi dam-saz asar hai

aashufta-sari rahbar-e-kashshaf-e-maqasid
tund-rau-e-zamana mein bhi kotah-nazar hai

is shorish-e-duniya mein jo dekho to mayassar
ta-hadd-e-nazar hech nishanat-e-sahar hai

kyon hon na pareshan ki yahan sahib-o-malik
go hain ba-lab-e-marg nazar su-e-guhar hai

duniya ke pas-o-pesh ko samjhoge kahan tak
khul jae girah gar to yahan aur khatar hai
