mohtaj-e-ajal kyun hai khud apni qaza ho ja
ghairat ho to marne se pahle hi fana ho ja

ai shauq-e-talab badh kar majnun-e-ada ho ja
ai himmat-e-mardana raazi-ba-raza ho ja

aaghosh-e-fana mein hum parwarda-e-afat hain
ai fitna-e-dauran uth ai hashr bapa ho ja

zid aur ye zid ai dil achchha to khuda-hafiz
qurban hi us but par hota hai to ja ho ja

us jaan-e-tamanna se be-parda na shikwa kar
wo tujh se khafa hai to jine se khafa ho ja

har qafla-e-dil ko tu muzhda-e-manzil de
har rahguzar-e-gham mein naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ho ja

ye dard-e-mohabbat bhi kya shai hai maaz-allah
main dard-e-mohabbat se kahta hun siwa ho ja

zalim ka na shikwa kar zulmon ki na parwa kar
tu apni wafaon ki izzat pe fida ho ja

is hasti-e-fani se kar qat-e-nazar 'fani'
tu dost ka talib hai dushman se juda ho ja
