wo tulsidas jis ne ilm ka dariya bahaya tha
wo tulsidas jis ne ghair ko apna banaya tha

wo tulsidas jo duniya mein suraj ban ke chhaya tha
wo tulsidas jo gham-khwariyon mein muskuraya tha

khulus-e-dil se main us ko aqidat pesh karta hun
mere pesh-e-nazar ab tak mizaj-e-hukmrani hai

bahut uljhi hui us daur-e-mazi ki kahani hai
magar tulsi ki azmat dost dushman sab ne mani hai

wo ramaen ka likhna shahkar-e-zindagani hai
main us insan-e-kaamil ko mohabbat pesh karta hun

ye jo kuchh kah raha hun main haqiqat hi haqiqat hai
lab-o-lahja ki shirini mohabbat ki alamat hai

wo aalim ho ki jahil aaj har dil par hukumat hai
nazar-andaz karna us ki rahon ko qayamat hai

main apni bazm mein is ki zarurat pesh karta hun
wo tulsi jis ki goyai sukhan ki sar-bulandi hai

sukhan ki sar-bulandi fikr-o-fan ki sar-bulandi hai
gul-e-rangin wo hai jis se chaman ki sar-bulandi hai

usi ki sar-bulandi se watan ki sar-bulandi hai
main ehsas-e-waqar-e-mulk-o-millat pesh karta hun

wo tulsi jis ki ramaen ka ek ek scene gulshan hai
wo tulsi jis ka duniya-e-adab mein nam raushan hai

wo ek aalim hai ek sahib-nazar hai mahir-e-fan hai
wo apne daur ka homer hai firdausi hai milton hai

main ai 'takmil' use apni riyazat pesh karta hun
