ye nafs hamara dushman hai ise rah pe lana mushkil hai
auron ko manana aasan hai is dil ko manana mushkil hai

aata hai hamein bhi ai waiz teri hi tarah taqrir ka fan
baaton ka banana aasan hai kuchh kar ke dikhana mushkil hai

do lafz zaban par aate hain rishte qaem ho jate hain
rishton ka banana aasan hai rishton ka nibhana mushkil hai

mana ki sabhi insan hi hain ehsas bhi hai jazbaat bhi hain
hathon ka milana aasan hai par sath nibhana mushkil hai

israf ke jo hain shaidai shaitan ke hote hain bhai
paison ka lutana aasan hai paison ka kamana mushkil hai

haq baat jise tum kahte ho haq hai ki yahi sachchai hai
par ye bhi haqiqat hai yaro manega zamana mushkil hai

insan ke hathon mein jazib tamir bhi hai takhrib bhi hai
sau shamen bujhana aasan hai ek shama jalana mushkil hai
