khudi ki fitrat-e-zarrin ke raaz-ha-e-darun
ada-shanas haqiqat mile koi to kahun

khudi agar hai to hain surkh-ru hayat-o-mamat
khudi nahin to hayat-o-mamat khar-o-zabun

khudi wo chiz hai nadan ki jis ke badle mein
mile jo daulat-e-kaunain bhi mujhe to na lun

alamaten hain ye sab ek mard-e-kaamil ki
khulus-e-ruh o yaqin-e-tamam o soz-e-darun

samajh saka na samajh kar bhi aaj tak koi
ye aab-o-gil ka fasana ye aab-o-gil ka fusun

meri nazar mein hai raaz-e-darun-e-mai-khana
magar ye soch raha hun kahun to kis se kahun

jinhen talash-e-sukun hai unhen ye kya malum
ki ek mahshar-e-khamosh hai jahan-e-sukun
