raaz-e-hasti se aashna na hua
na hua aadmi khuda na hua

harf rakhta hai jo nigahon par
ru-ba-ru is ke aaina na hua

tu to shah-rag ke pas tha lekin
tai hamin se ye fasla na hua

rakh diya mujh pe farz-e-khidmat-e-khalq
jab koi mujh sa dusra na hua

us ki dariya-dili khuda rakkhe
arz hum se hi muddaa na hua
