wo aalam hai ki har mauj-e-nafas hai ruh par bhaari
khuda jaane ye jina hai ki jine ki adakari

khuda-wanda tere zauq-e-ata ko kya kahe koi
mili hai hum se khufta-qismaton ko dil ki bedari

daraata kya dil-e-sarkash ko ehsas-e-saza lekin
laraz jata hai nam-e-afw se naz-e-khata-kari

nazar utthi kisi ki dil ne ek paigham sa paya
ye lamha hai ki hum udti hui si koi chingari

uthae zindagi ka bojh badhta ja raha hun main
tamanna-e-subuk-sari na ehsas-e-giranbari

mitai jaegi ye muskuraati nachti duniya
azal se sirf ek din ke liye kya kya hai tayyari

farishte rashk se kya kya na takte hain use 'hurmat'
koi karta hai pahli bar jab azm-e-gunahgari
