hua na mujh se koi ham-kalam gardish mein
dhuan hue hain mere subh-o-sham gardish mein

khayal-o-khwab hua har zamana-e-wahshat
utar chuke hain sabhi khush-khiram gardish mein

main bhagta hun sar-e-dasht-e-karbala aur phir
izafa karte hain aa kar imam gardish mein

meri talab meri raftar ke munafi hai
main khas shakhs hun rahta hun aam gardish mein

panap raha hai kahin dil mein shauq-e-did-o-shunid
dhadak rahe hain zamane mudam gardish mein

badal badal ke kai hath hashr uthata hai
bana raha hai koi rah-e-jam gardish mein

khuda ka shukr ada karta hun main subh-o-masa
labon pe rakh ke darud-o-salam gardish mein

badalta rahta hai chalne se mai-kade ka nizam
ki chal-chalaw se rahta hai jam gardish mein

rah-e-fana pe qadam rakh ke phans na jaun kahin
laga rakha hai khudai ne dam gardish mein

ruka hua hun main ek gardishi jazire par
guzar rahe hain mere subh-o-sham gardish mein

ruke hue hain sabhi dost kyon 'fida' mere
milega un ko yaqinan dawam gardish mein
