jo husn-o-ishq se amn-o-aman mein rahte hain
kahan ke log hain wo kis jahan mein rahte hain

kalam-e-pak mein hai zikr-e-hazrat-e-yusuf
ye husn-o-ishq har ek dastan mein rahte hain

ilahi ab se hasinon ko mehrban bana
ki tere bande unhin ki aman mein rahte hain

tumhin to ho wo jo dard-o-alam mein rakhte ho
hamin to hain wo jo aah-o-fughan mein rahte hain

mujhe to aap se matlab hai chand suraj kaun
wo un ko chahenge jo aasman mein rahte hain

kidhar kidhar ke chale aate hain ye be-wahdat
kahan kahan ke tumhaare makan mein rahte hain

umid ranj alam zabt dard sabr qalaq
ye sab hamare dil-e-na-tawan mein rahte hain

hazaron kaam hain aise bhi dekh ai ghafil
ki baad marg bhi log is jahan mein rahte hain

khuda samajh le lagane bujhane walon ko
ye khwah-makhwah yahan mein wahan mein rahte hain

ishaare aap ki abru ke koi kya jaane
ki kitne zahr ke tir is kaman mein rahte hain

hamari khas taraqqi hai khana-virani
kabhi makan mein the ab la-makan mein rahte hain

agar samajh hai to dil de ke lutf-e-zist utha
hazar faede us ek ziyan mein rahte hain

khayal-e-dost mein rahte hain ai safi' jab tak
to is jahan mein na hum us jahan mein rahte hain
