napna sahl nahin hai teri azmat ka firaq
qadr karna kisi mahir ki nahin koi mazaq

urdu hogi tere ehsan se kyunkar be-baq
kah rahe hain gul-o-naghma ke ye zarrin auraq

qaumi yak-jehti ka hami to munafi-e-nifaq
kya bayan ho tere ausaf-e-hamida ka firaq

tere paigham-e-haqiqi se hain labrez asbaq
tu hai sultan-e-adab nazm-o-ghazal donon mein taq

tu hai yakta-e-zaman is mein nahin koi kalam
pesh-e-khidmat hai ba-sad ijz ye 'sufi' ka kalam

giyan pith aaj hai shadan tujhe de kar inam
aaj shohrat ka teri hai sar-e-aflak maqam
