jo ishq ko khel samajhte hain wo gham ki lazzat kya jaanen
jo khoe gae hain wahdat mein irfan-e-kasrat kya jaanen

iflas ke mare hum kyunkar apne dil ko bahlate hain
aashufta-e-daulat kya jaanen khwabida-e-rahat kya jaanen

shaida hai koi taraqqi ka khaif hai koi tanazzul se
daur-e-gardun-e-mudawwar ki ye log ahmiyat kya jaanen

munkir hain khuda ki hasti se jo aap khuda ban baithe hain
iman ki rifat kya jaanen masti ki wusat kya jaanen

bazi-e-hayat-o-maut mujhe aari nahin maqsad-e-aula se
parde ke pichhe kya kya hai be-nur basirat kya jaanen

har qaul-o-feal do-alam ka wo ek muharrik-o-nazim hai
hasanat-e-nazm se be-bahra sheriyat-e-khilqat kya jaanen

har mausam ka husn apna hai har din ka nashsha apna hai
har ahd ki apni qimat hai hum farq ki azmat kya jaanen
