khuda se roz-e-azal kis ne ikhtilaf kiya
wo aadmi to na tha jis ne inhiraf kiya

main kya bataun ki qalb-o-nazar pe kya guzri
kiran ne qatra-e-shabnam mein jab shigaf kiya

wahi to hun main ki jis ke wajud se pahle
khud apne rab se farishton ne ikhtilaf kiya

usi ke rahm-o-karam par hai aaqibat meri
na jis ne pahli khata ko meri muaf kiya

azal se aalam-e-maujud tak safar kar ke
khud apne jism ke hujre mein etakaf kiya

khuda-gawah ki main ne khud-agahi ke liye
samajh ke khud ko haram umr bhar tawaf kiya

rahenge qasr-e-aqaed na falsafon ke mahal
jo main ne apni haqiqat ka inkishaf kiya
