ye puri kaenat
main sirf tumhaare nizam-e-shamsi ki baat nahin kar raha hun

is zat ka aaina hai
jo ek lafz-e-kun se aise kitne hi nizam hae shams khalq kar sakti hai

aur aaina
kabhi kizb-bayani se kaam nahin leta

tum
jo nafs-e-ammara ke aaine se dekhne ke aadi ho

kabhi khud ko nafs-e-mutmainna ke darpan mein nahin dekhte
agar tum dekh sako

to
qudrat ki neamaten tumhein kabhi sajda-e-shukr se uthne na den

sadaf
samundar se alag ho kar moti paida nahin kar sakta

aur bahr-e-sadaqat mein utre baghair tum
zindagi ke sadaf se gauhar-e-nashat hasil nahin kar sakte
