jab se kisi ka dard hamare jigar mein hai
hum ko sukun safar mein na aaram ghar mein hai

shah-rag se bhi ziyaada khuda to qarib hai
pahchan phir bhi teri na apni nazar mein hai

dil se hisab leta hun har shab isi liye
mahshar mein khauf khane ka manzar nazar mein hai

khak-e-bashar ko khak mein milna zarur hai
lekin baqa ka raaz fana ke safar mein hai

duniya mein khair-o-shar ko samajhne ke waste
kuchh to ishaara gardish-e-sham-o-sahar mein hai

barson ke tajrabe se 'rawish' ye ayan hua
sab kuchh khuda ka hai jo mizaj-e-bashar mein hai
