ye tazad-e-jaan-o-jasad jise
tu visal kah le firaq mein

tu nashat kah le miraq mein
tu ruwaq kah le ki bahr-o-bar

main mazaq kah lun ki khair-o-shar
tere mere kahne mein kuchh nahin

ki tera yaqin mera guman
ki mera guman tera yaqin

tere dark-o-hosh-o-hawas ki
mere wajd-o-wahm-o-qayas ki

yahi ek pal to asas hai
yahi ek pal tere pas hai

yahi ek pal mere pas hai
isi ek pal ko murur hai

isi ek pal ko dawam hai
isi ek pal ko qayam hai

isi ek pal ko salam hai
na hayat azal na ajal abad

yahi pal azal yahi pal abad!
