kal jo duniya rahi wo aaj nahin
jis se miliye wo ham-mizaj nahin

apne zahir se apne baatin tak
aaina dil mein koi aaj nahin

apni chaukhat se chikhti dekhun
muflisi ko zara bhi laj nahin

mere andar kai charagh jale
khud-farozi to hai khiraj nahin

raaz fitrat ke chaar-su hain magar
sochne ka yahan riwaj nahin

sath apne hai ilm ka lashkar
lakh duniya ke takht-o-taj nahin
