makan kahin to muqarrar ho la-makan ke liye
nishan kahin to muayyan ho be-nishan ke liye

mila hai jism hamein imtiyaz-e-jaan ke liye
bashar wajud mein aaya hai imtihan ke liye

nigah waqf-e-jamal-o-khayal mahw-e-jalal
rah-e-fana mein hain do naqsh-e-pa nishan ke liye

muhit-e-ishq ki maujen hain iztirab-o-sukun
ki madd-o-jazr bane bahr-e-bekaran ke liye

huzur-e-qalb hai sarmaya-e-hayat-e-dawam
nafas hai khizr mera umr-e-jawedan ke liye

meri namaz ko bahr-e-wuzu hai jam-e-tuhur
sala-e-saqi-e-kausar hai bas azan ke liye

hamare dil mein yaqin ko mili hai gunjaish
ki bas hai wusat-e-kaun-o-makan guman ke liye

chali jo sahil-e-umr-e-rawan se kashti-e-tan
nafas se kaam mashiyyat ne baadban ke liye

hua ye shoala-zabani se shama ki raushan
ki mom ho hama-tan aatishin bayan ke liye

meri nazar mein hai ism-o-sifat ki jalwagari
zaban-e-haal hai shahid mere bayan ke liye

kaha ye rahmat-e-bari ne hai ye haq se baid
ki waqf ho koi jalwa kisi makan ke liye

ayan ye husn-e-khud-ara ki khud-numai hai
ki nur-e-ain hai chashm-e-jahaniyan ke liye

farogh-e-ilm se raushan hai sham-e-bazm-e-sukhan
sala-e-am hai yaran-e-nukta-dan ke liye

baqa-e-zat mein hai ma-siwa fana 'sahir'
ye dil pe naqsh hai tawiz hirz-e-jaan ke liye
