amal ka radd-e-amal waqt ka jawab hun main
qubul kijiye qudrat ka intikhab hun main

aziyyaton ka safar sabr aur khamoshi
abhi to sare mahazon pe kaamyab hun main [...]

dayar-e-ishq mein apna maqam paida kar
naya zamana nae subh o sham paida kar
khuda agar dil-e-fitrat-shanas de tujh ko
sukut-e-lala-o-gul se kalam paida kar
utha na shishagaran-e-farang ke ehsan
sifal-e-hind se mina o jam paida kar
main shakh-e-tak hun meri ghazal hai mera samar
mere samar se mai-e-lala-fam paida kar
mera tariq amiri nahin faqiri hai
khudi na bech gharibi mein nam paida kar
