wo bahr-o-bar mein nahin aur na aasman mein hai
jo raaz-e-zist mere shauq-e-be-karan mein hai

mujhe qarar ba-juz shauq-e-be-qarar nahin
sukun-e-zist mujhe shokhi-e-butan mein hai

mujhe qubul nahin aisa raaz-e-sar-basta
jo chashm-e-aql se poshida la-makan mein hai

meri hayat faqat justuju-e-paiham hai
mera maqam sitaron ke karwan mein hai

main aasman mein sitaron ki sair karta hun
ye kya surur tere sang-e-astan mein hai

mere wajud mein pinhan hai gauhar-e-yakta
mera wajud nihan bahr-e-be-karan mein hai

chaman mein jabki nasheman bana chuka hun main
ajab tarah ki chamak chashm-e-asman mein hai

mere kalam se aaya hai barg-e-gul pe nikhaar
mere nafas ki mahak sare gulistan mein hai

wo lutf-e-zist jo hai tund-o-tez tufan mein
wo shakh-e-gul pe nahin aur na aashiyan mein hai

wo soz-o-saz-e-haqiqat se aashna hogi
wo zindagi jo hama-waqt imtihan mein hai

har ek lahza hai ek taza walwala darkar
ajab tarah ka maza bahr-e-be-karan mein hai

wo meri quwwat-e-iman ki ek alamat hai
jo shor-e-hashr bapa bazm-e-dushmanan mein hai
