zaban se be-ta'alluq dil ko bazm-e-yar mein dekha
ta’ajjub-khez zabt is mahram-e-asrar mein dekha

idhar tasbih ki gardish mein paya shaikh sahab ko
barahman ko udhar uljha hua zunnar mein dekha

wo banka qatil aaine ki kuchh parwa nahin karta
kabhi dekha bhi apna 'aks agar talwar mein dekha

zamane ne mere aage bhi duniya pesh kar di thi
magar main ne to apna faeda inkar mein dekha
