aur bisat-e-khayal be-payan
aur muayyan hudud-e-sharh-o-bayyan

tez-raftar gardish-e-haalat
aur aahistagi-e-umr rawan

ajnabiyyat ka mustaqil ek bojh
aur shanasaiyon ka bar-e-giran

aql ki khami narasi dil ki
aur tasawwur-shikan haqiqat-e-jaan

mukhtalif har wajud pesh-e-nazar
aur imkan-e-wahdat-e-imkan

fikr uqda-kushaiyon pe musir
aur sar-rishte hi ka khud fuqdann

intiha silsilon ki na-malum
aur har lamha silsila-e-jumban

mutawatir marahil-e-talim
aur musalsal madarij-e-nisyan

shoba-ha-e-khayal be-tamiz
aur bahr-e-shanakht mohr-o-nishan

chaar jaanib sarahton ka hujum
aur bahr-e-rumuz be-payan

sail-e-bairun rawan ba-tarz-e-digar
aur ju-e-andarun alag si rawan

ek khoi hui fazae-hayat
aur ehsas-o-fikr sab ghaltan

aur sanson ki rahguzar pe hujum
aur aankhon ki rahguzar viran
