vo qāfila ārām-talab ho bhī to kyā ho
āvāz-e-nafas hī jise āvāz-e-darā ho
ḳhāmosh ho kyuuñ dard-e-mohabbat ke gavāho
da.ave ko nibāho mire naalo mirī aaho
har roz jo samjhāne chale aate ho nāseh
maiñ pūchhtā huuñ tum mujhe samjhe hue kyā ho
is dār-e-baqā meñ mirī sūrat koī dekhe
ik dam kā bharosā hai jo ik dam meñ fanā ho
mujh ko na sunā ḳhizr o sikandar ke fasāne
mere liye yaksāñ hai fanā ho ki baqā ho
