niyaz-o-naz ka paikar na arsh par thahra
zamin ki god mein utra to barwar thahra

gada-e-kucha-e-ulfat ne aabru pai
dayar-e-shauq mein sultan se mo'tabar thahra

jise nazar ne sunaya jise nazar ne suna
wo git barbat-e-hasti ka zakhma-war thahra

wafa ki rah mein nikle to rahdan ki tarah
tere jamal ka partaw bhi ham-safar thahra

charagh dur se dekhun to raushni le lun
yahi tariq-e-gadai mera hunar thahra

wo ek shakhs ki gumnam tha khudai mein
tumhaare nam ke sadqe mein namwar thahra

wo durr-e-nab ki sipi mein band tha 'kausar'
kisi ne dhund nikala to khub-tar thahra
