main ek harf maani ka ek daftar wo
main ek mauj-e-sarab-e-junun samundar wo

tamam sabit-o-sayyar us ke halqa-ba-gosh
ye kaenat hai ek daera to mehwar wo

tamam mumlikaten us ke hi qalam-rau main
sab us ke zer-e-nagin bahr-o-bar ka dawar wo

saron pe ahl-e-karam ke hai abr rahmat ka
sitam-garon ke liye qahr ka hai lashkar wo

kahin hai din ki tapish mein shajar shajar saya
kahin hai shab ke andhere mein mah-o-akhtar wo

koi madad ko na aaega aisi manzil hai
panah jaan ko milegi agar hai rahbar wo

phir us ki hamd-o-sana kis tarah likhi jae
hudud-e-lafz-o-maani se jab hai bahar wo

kitab-e-din ki takmil ho chuki 'mohsin'
zamin pe bhej chuka aakhiri payambar wo
