kuchh shokh hasinaon si rangin kitaben
din-raat mujhe deti hain taskin kitaben

insan hi tazlil kiya karta hai in ki
karti nahin insan ki tauhin kitaben

sikha hai faqat in se hi jine ka saliqa
tahzib-o-tamaddun ki hain aain kitaben

jab gham se main ghabra ke tadap jata hun aksar
karti hain mujhe sabr ki talqin kitaben

is nur se mamur azal se hun 'sharar' main
iman kitaben hain mera din kitaben
