subh-e-azal o sham-e-abad kuchh bhi nahin

imkan-e-talab se koi aagah to ho

kyun matlab-e-hasti-o-adam khul jata

dekhe hain bahut chaman ujaDte baste

han ai dil-e-iza-talab aaram na le

dekhun kab tak gulon ki ye tishna-labi

wallah ye zindagi bhi hai qabil-e-did

manzil ka pata hai na Thikana malum

dard apna kuchh aur hai dawa hai kuchh aur

waiz ko munasib nahin rindon se tane

parwane kahan marte bichhaDte pahunche

hairan hai kyun raaz-e-baqa mujhse puchh

be-dard ho kya jaano musibat ke maze

baadal ko lagi khilte baraste kuchh der

chaara nahin koi jalte rahne ke siwa
