jo farz aaed hua hai hum par use khushi se ada karenge
hamara shewa yahi raha hai jafa ke badle wafa karenge

shikasta kashti muhib tufan aur sahil nazar se ojhal
azab kitne hi aaen hum pe na minnat-e-nakhuda karenge

rasai kaise wafa ki manzil pe hogi ye raaz hum se puchho
jahan safar khatm sab ka hoga wahin se hum ibtida karenge

khushi ke jhule hain jhulne wale kya samajh paen zindagi ko
ye raaz un par khulega jis dam wo dil ko gham-ashna karenge

shajar hai be-barg kaliyan raundi hui gul-o-lala hain fasurda
yahi hai manzar bahaar ka to chaman mein hum ja ke kya karenge

rahe hain zat-e-khuda se munkir gunah taslim hai magar ab
hayat ki sarzanish se dar kar buland dast-e-dua karenge

azal se dastur hai ye qaem na is mein tarmim ho sakegi
charagh-ha-e-hayat 'gauhar' jala karenge bujha karenge
