hasti-e-haq ke ma'ani jo mera dil samjha
apni hasti ko ek andesha-e-baatil samjha

wo shanawar hun jo har mauj ko sahil samjha
wo musafir hun jo har gam ko manzil samjha

kafiri sehr na thi 'ishq-e-butan khel na tha
ba-khuda main to isi se use mushkil samjha

utra dariya mein pa-e-ghusl jo wo ghairat-e-gul
shor-e-amwaj ko main shor-e-anadil samjha

kufr-o-islam ki tafriq nahin fitrat mein
ye wo nuqta hai jise main bhi ba-mushkil samjha

shaikh ne chashm-e-hiqarat se jo dekha mujh ko
ba-khuda main use allah se ghafil samjha

na kiya yar ne 'akbar' ke junun ko taslim
mil gai aankh to kuchh soch ke ‘aqil samjha
