jine mein ye ghaflat fitrat ne kyon tab'-e-bashar mein dakhil ki
marne ki musibat jaanon par kyon qudrat-e-haq ne nazil ki

kyon tul-e-amal mein uljhaya insan ne apne daman ko
kyon zulf-e-hawas ke phande mein phansti hai tabi'at ghafil ki

kyon hijr ke sadme hote hain kyon murdon pe zinde rote hain
kyon jang mein jaanen jati hain kyon badhti hai himmat qatil ki

mantiq ka to da'wa ek taraf taqat ki ye shokhi ek taraf
kya farq hai khair-o-shar mein yahan kya jaanch hai haqq-o-baatil ki
