yahi likha hai ki ab main na ma-siwa mein rahun
safir-e-khak ki surat kahin khala mein rahun

sukut ka ye nagar bhi mujhe aziz rahe
agar main ja ke kisi mahshar-e-nawa mein rahun

main manzilon ke liye raste mein mar jaun
magar khuda na kare shahar-e-na-rasa mein rahun

main dekhta hi rahun hashr tak baqa ke khwab
main hashr tak hi na kyun panja-e-fana mein rahun

purane ped bhi hairat se mujh ko dekhte hain
jo un se badh ke main sabit-qadam hawa mein rahun
