alif lafz o maani se mubarra
alif tanhai ka raushan hayula

alif aazad aawazon ke shar se
alif be-bak har aib o hunar se

alif takmili markaz ka muharrik
alif har lamhe ke sine mein dhadkan

alif sadiyon ke sahra par musallat
alif aabi na simabi tasalsul

tasalsul sans ki zanjir-e-ahang
tasalsul khwab ki tabir-e-be-rang

tasalsul lafz ki tafsir-e-farhang
