ye kya hangama-e-kaun-o-makan hai
main kya hun aur nazar meri kahan hai

ye mauj-e-be-qarari dil mein kaisi
ye bahr-e-be-karan kyunkar rawan hai

ye kya ma'ni chhupe hain suraton mein
nazar kyon sail-e-husn-e-bayan hai

faqat wahdat ka hi jalwa hai lekin
hijab-e-wahm-e-kasrat darmiyan hai

wahi wo hai nahin hai ghair ka dakhl
yahan be-khud nigah-e-arifan hai
