khaksaron se qarin rahta hai
aasman khak-nashin rahta hai

hai ajab khu-e-faqirana bhi
ek jahan zer-e-nagin rahta hai

wajh duniya bhi hai fitrat bhi hai
koi khush koi hazin rahta hai

bagh-e-gul-gasht-e-saba dil ko bana
nakhl-e-sarsabz yahin rahta hai

ghar ka saman nahin virane mein
shahr mein khauf-e-makin rahta hai

aankhon aankhon mein to kat jati hai raat
dard farkhanda-jabin rahta hai

kaj-ada aisa nahin hai wo bhi
bojh ek dil pe kahin rahta hai

go koi wajh-e-talluq bhi nahin
main kahin dhyan kahin rahta hai
