ulti har ek rasm-e-jahan-e-shuur hai
sidhi si ek ghazal mujhe likhni zarur hai

wahdat mein e'tibar-e-hudus-o-qidam nahin
tha jo butun mein ye wahi to zuhur hai

tarik wahi hai jis ne kiya kal ko ikhtiyar
yani haris-tar hai wahi jo subur hai

mutlaq yagangi hai to nazdik-o-dur kya
pahuncha hai jo qarib wahi dur dur hai

asl-e-hayat hai yahi kahte hain jis ko maut
jine ki aarzu hai to marna zarur hai

iqrar-e-bandagi hai khudai ka iddaa
ijz-o-niyaz kya hai kamal-e-ghurur hai

ummid kijiye agar ummid kuchh nahin
gham khaiye bahut jo khayal-e-surur hai

zulf-e-siyah se rukh-e-taban ka husn hai
kahte ho jis ko dew haqiqat mein hur hai

be-masiyat khazana-e-rahmat hai raegan
sach puchhiye to jurm na karna qusur hai

izhaar-e-jaan-e-pak hai jism-e-kasif se
be-pardagi hijab hai zulmat hi nur hai

bilittifaq hasti-e-wahmi hai niyyati
hushiyar hai jo nashsha-e-ghaflat mein chur hai

aala tha jis ka rutba wo asfal mein hai asir
saff-e-naal moqif-e-sadrussudur hai

hai rah ki talash to kar gumrahi talab
aaqil wahi hai aql mein jis ki futur hai

bedari-e-wajud hai khwab-e-adam mein gharq
lab band ho gae yahi shor-e-nushur hai

har chand shaghl-e-sher nahin aaj-kal zarur
nazrana pir ji ke liye kuchh zarur hai
