khulus-e-sajda har ek haal mein muqaddam hai
wahin pe dil bhi jhuka de jahan jabin kham hai

hazar jalwon se pur-nur bazm-e-alam hai
magar charagh-e-mohabbat ki raushni kam hai

hamare haal-e-pareshan pe muskura dena
bada latif ye andaz-e-pursish-e-gham hai

hayat-e-ishq umidon pe katne walo
khabar bhi hai ki umidon ki zindagi kam hai

qafas mein the to chaman ke liye tadapte the
chaman mein aae to ahl-e-chaman ka matam hai

bashar ke dar pe jabin-e-bashar ka jhuk jaana
qasam khuda ki ye tauhin-e-ibn-e-adam hai

wo dil chura ke nigahon se chhup gae 'shaarib'
nigah-o-dil se magar fasla bahut kam hai
