pahunch nahin to mohabbat ka hausla kya hai
khuda ke pujne wale bata khuda kya hai

talab ki zillat-o-bechaargi maaz-allah
meri khudi ka tashannuj hai ye dua kya hai

hum uth khade hue duniya se jhad kar daman
ki in bujhe hue zarraat mein dhara kya hai

rawa hai kya teri duniya mein narawa kya hai
mujhe bata ki ye hangama ai khuda kya hai

ye ittihad-e-tabiat ye ikhtilaf-e-mizaj
ye turfa-kari-e-raftar-e-irtiqa kya hai

khuda-faroshi-e-zuhhad-e-sajda-kosh hai kya
khuda-faramushi-e-rind-e-kaj-ada kya hai

kharash-e-arzu-e-qalb-e-baadshah hai kya
sukun-e-khatir-e-asuda-e-gada kya hai

hayat jis ko kahen ek junun-e-garm-rawi
ye kyon hai is ki gharaz is ka muddaa kya hai

kahan hai awwal-e-awwal kahan akhir-e-akhir
numud-e-be-sar-o-pa ka ye silsila kya hai

dimagh mein ye tajassus kahan se aaya hai
ye kyon hai kyon koi batlae aur ye kya kya hai
