jahan se hota hai pyare khuda ka nam shurua
wahin se karte hum zindagi ka kaam shurua

ye kaisi rah-e-safar hai ye kaisa aalam hai
ki panw rakkhen jahan bhi wahin maqam shurua

jahan pe hota hai dil pe nuzul-e-bar-e-azab
wahin se hota hai duniya ka ye nizam shurua

na socho waqt bahut kam hai zindagi kam hai
jo ho sake to karo gardish-e-mudam shurua

sukut o shor ke mabain koi hai maujud
jahan ho khatm samaat wahin kalam shurua

badi ajib hai ye dastan-e-ishq 'hamesh'
sawera hone se pahle ho goya sham shurua
