wo meri ruh ka maqsud-o-fakhr-e-maujudat
usi ke nur se raushan hai jalwa-gah-e-sifat

sikha rahi hai khirad tujh ko fann-e-shisha-gari
ajab nahin jo pareshan ho karobar-e-hayat

har ek zarre mein hain lakh bijliyan ai dost
nigah-e-shauq na ho jae markaz-e-afat

sun ai farefta-e-qissa-ha-e-hijr-o-visal
amiq-tar hain samundar se zindagi ke nikat

khudi mein dub ke hangama aazma ho ja
khudi na ho to na soz-e-yaqin na soz-e-hayat

meri nigah khurafat-e-maddi pe nahin
khirad hai past haqiqat hai arfa'ud-darajat

nazar mila ki bataun ye zindagi kya hai
na ho khumar to badhta nahin mazaq-e-hayat

zamin-e-shor mein bagh-e-hayat kar tamir
yaqin-o-azm se hasil hai aadmi ko sabaat

sukun-e-dida-e-tishna hain mauja-ha-e-sarab
khuda kare ki na tute tilism-e-lat-o-manat
