main hath badhaun kya daman-e-gulistan tak
hai rang-e-gul-e-lala nairang-e-bahaaran tak

phulon se raha khali daman-e-wafa apna
kante hi mile hum ko gulshan se bayaban tak

uthte hain bagule to sahra ki taraf jaen
diwanon ki duniya hai daman se gareban tak

kat jaengi ek din sab aalam ki zanjiren
ye qaid-e-musalsal hai majburi-e-insan tak

be-soz koi naghma maqbul nahin hota
mizrab-e-gham-e-dil ko le jao rag-e-jaan tak

kashane gharibon ke sar apna uthaenge
mitti ke charaghon ki lau jaegi aiwan tak

turfa koi kya jaane gham ahl-e-mohabbat ka
jati hai nazar kis ki zakhm-e-dil-e-insan tak
