khud-bakhud aalam-e-dil zer-o-zabar hota hai
nichi nazron mein qayamat ka asar hota hai

did kya chiz hai jalwon mein nazar kho jaana
warna jalwa kahin paband-e-nazar hota hai

ahl-e-himmat ke qadam is se alag uthte hain
rukh zamane ki hawaon ka jidhar hota hai

teri duniya mein kahin par bhi karun main sajda
tera jalwa to mere pesh-e-nazar hota hai

shart hai dard mein duba hua afsana ho
dil to kya chiz hai patthar pe asar hota hai

jab uthata hun qadam rah-e-adab mein 'shaarib'
mere hamrah mera zauq-e-nazar hota hai
