na chhed saz-e-kuhan mehrban hua so hua
sitam jo kuchh bhi tah-e-asman hua so hua

zamin-o-charkh ke sab hadse purane hain
abas hai un ka dobara bayan hua so hua

kahan shurua hui rudad khatm hogi kahan
tawil hai matn-e-dastan hua so hua

guman-o-wahm pe hai qasr-e-zist ki buniyaad
hawa ke dosh pe baadal rawan hua so hua

fana ke baad baqa ka hai jaan-faza muzhda
atal hai aadat-e-daur-e-zaman hua so hua

nae makan ki tamir-e-nau ki fikr karo
tabah bijliyon se khanuman hua so hua

suno bahaar se mansuba-e-chaman-bandi
riyaz-e-dahr kharab-e-khizan hua so hua

wo dekho qafile daulat-sara-e-hasti ke
rawana su-e-adam karwan hua so hua
