go ye nowel ka zamana hai magar aaj bhi dost
is ki azmat mein koi farq nahin aaya hai

is ki talim nahin ek hi mazhab ke liye
ise padh kar sabhi insan maza lete hain

dur karne ke liye dil se jahaalat ka hijab
faiz imkan bhar is se wo utha lete hain

hath un ke kabhi gauhar na lage hain na lagen
tah mein sagar ki jo insan nahin ja sakte

dekh gita mein hain mastur wo anmol ratan
khwab mein bhi jinhen kam-aql nahin pa sakte

kis liye ishrat-e-fani pe mite jate ho
raaz hasti ka hai kya tum ne kabhi socha hai

puchh lo ja ke mai-e-ishq ke matwalon se
khwab sa khwab hai duniya ki haqiqat kya hai

jab na ho qaid-e-alaiq na rahe shor-e-khudi
chain pane lage dil gosha-e-tanhai mein

to samajh lo ki qarib aa gai meraj-e-hayat
lutf milne lage insan ko jo yaktai mein

be-badal ilm-e-ilahi ka sahifa hai ye
nakhuda kashti-e-dil ka ise jaano samjho

sarfaraazi se jo jina hai tumhein duniya mein
is ko apnao phir o mere watan ke logo

ahl-e-dil is ko hain sine se lagae rahte
abadi zat ka ye tohfa-e-ruhani hai

is ke auraq mein simta hua wo nur hai jo
waqt ki qaid se aazad hai la-fani hai

ye wo hira hai chamak jis ki nahin kam hogi
is ki azmat mein koi farq nahin aaega
