wo harf-e-raaz ki mujh ko sikha gaya hai junun
khuda mujhe nafas-e-jabrail de to kahun

sitara kya meri taqdir ki khabar dega
wo khud farakhi-e-aflak mein hai khwar o zubun

hayat kya hai khayal o nazar ki majzubi
khudi ki maut hai andesha-ha-e-guna-gun

ajab maza hai mujhe lazzat-e-khudi de kar
wo chahte hain ki main apne aap mein na rahun

zamir-e-pak o nigah-e-buland o masti-e-shauq
na mal-o-daulat-e-qarun na fikr-e-aflatun

sabaq mila hai ye meraj-e-mustafa se mujhe
ki aalam-e-bashariyat ki zad mein hai gardun

ye kaenat abhi na-tamam hai shayad
ki aa rahi hai damadam sada-e-kun-fayakun

ilaj aatish-e-'rumi' ke soz mein hai tera
teri khirad pe hai ghaalib firangiyon ka fusun

usi ke faiz se meri nigah hai raushan
usi ke faiz se mere subu mein hai jehun
