khudi wo bahr hai jis ka koi kinara nahin
tu aabju ise samjha agar to chaara nahin

tilism-e-gumbad-e-gardun ko tod sakte hain
zujaj ki ye imarat hai sang-e-khara nahin

khudi mein dubte hain phir ubhar bhi aate hain
magar ye hausla-e-mard-e-hech-kara nahin

tere maqam ko anjum-shanas kya jaane
ki khak-e-zinda hai tu taba-e-sitara nahin

yahin bahisht bhi hai hur o jibrail bhi hai
teri nigah mein abhi shokhi-e-nazara nahin

mere junun ne zamane ko khub pahchana
wo pairahan mujhe bakhsha ki para para nahin

ghazab hai ain-e-karam mein bakhil hai fitrat
ki lal-e-nab mein aatish to hai sharara nahin
