mata-o-mal-e-hawas hubb-e-al samne hai
shikar khud ko bacha dekh jal samne hai

khayal-e-kohna muqayyad hai teri sochon mein
rihai de ki saza yarghamal samne hai

mujhe malal hai apni falak-nashini par
yahi uruj ki had phir zawal samne hai

ragon mein khun ke badle machal rahi hai aag
ziyan badan ka na jaan ka wabaal samne hai

yahi hai kaba-e-maqsud isi se jalwa-e-arsh
utha le chah se qut-e-halal samne hai

wo ba-kamal siyaq o sabaq par hawi
guzishta us ki nazar mein maal samne hai

saza ki himmat-e-ali bhi ho gai paspa
hazar-ha araq-e-infial samne hai

khulus sikka-e-uftada jeb-e-hasti ka
utha ke dal de dast-e-sawal samne hai

hamare sabr ki had hum pe aashkara ho
musabbiba sabab-e-ishtial samne hai

mujhe aziz hai sahra-e-mumkinat ki sair
ye aur baat ki bagh-e-muhaal samne hai

nazar ba-khair ho 'rahi' ki bu-e-gul ki tarah
chhupa hai wo magar us ka jamal samne hai
