zarre zarre mein dawan ruh-o-ruwan pata hun main
zindagi ko ek bahr-e-be-karan pata hun main

ghuncha ghuncha nutq par aamada aata hai nazar
patte patte ki zaban ko naghma-khwan pata hun main

zinda hasti ki khabar deti hai raftar-e-nafas
bu-e-gul ko zindagi ka tarjuman pata hun main

barq ki jumbish ho ya baad-e-saba ka ho khiram
zindagi ka har tamawwuj mein nishan pata hun main

us se aage bhi hain ruhen udti phirti be-shumar
taer-e-sidra ka jis ja aashiyan pata hun main

ho chuki hai hukmaran jis nakhl par baad-e-khizan
us ki rag rag mein bahaar-e-be-khizan pata hun main

chaar-su rah-e-safar par daudti hai jab nazar
zindagi ko karwan-dar-karwan pata hun main

jaane walon ki tabahi ke nishanon mein nihan
aane wali hastiyon ki bastiyan pata hun main

al-gharaz samjhe ho jin ko maut ki barbaadiyan
zindagi ke inqalab an mein nihan pata hun main
