jin laghzishon ke dahr mein jhande buland hain
aiwan-e-zindagi ke wahi naqsh-band hain

be-saegi ne hum ko banaya hai tez-gam
hum log sukhe pedon ke ehsanmand hain

lafzon ke qaht hi ki nawazish kahen use
tabut-e-zehn mein jo khayalat band hain

tu apna mal pahle harison mein bant de
kya hai hamara hum to qanaat-pasand hain

is qaid hi mein wusat-e-donon-jahan mili
ye soch kar hi aaj bhi hum khud mein band hain
