kaam agar hasb-e-muddaa na hua
tera chaha hua bura na hua

khak udti jo hum khuda hote
bandagi ka bhi haq ada na hua

sab jataya kiye niyaz-e-qadim
wo kisi ka bhi aashna na hua

rakhsh-e-ayyam ko qarar kahan
idhar aaya udhar rawana hua

kya khule jo kabhi na tha pinhan
kyun mile jo kabhi juda na hua

sakht fitna jahan mein uthta
koi tujh sa tere siwa na hua

jo gadha khu-e-bad ki daldal mein
ja phansa phir kabhi riha na hua

tu na ho ye to ho nahin sakta
mera kya tha hua hua na hua

rah-raw-e-maslak-e-tawkkul hai
wo jo muhtaj ghair ka na hua
