khud dekh khudi ko o khud-ara
pahchan khuda ko bhi khuda-ra

tirchhi ye nigah hai ki aara
har juzw-e-jigar hai para para

dekhenge buton ki hum kaji ko
sidha hai agar khuda hamara

kyun maut ke aasare pe jite
ai zist hamein to tu ne mara

allah-re dil ki be-qarari
khata hi nahin kahin sahaara

jaan deni hai meri aazmaish
dildari hai imtihan tumhaara

tufan hai josh-e-tishna-kaami
dariya bhi to kar gaya kinara

shirini-e-jaan ki kab khuli qadar
jab zahr hua hamein gawara

har shakh pe aashiyan hai larzan
is bagh mein ho chuka guzara

gardish ka 'qalaq' ki dekhna auj
har qatra-e-khun bana sitara
