kahāñ ke naam o nasab ilm kyā fazīlat kyā

jahān-e-rizq meñ tauqīr-e-ahl-e-hājat kyā

shikam kī aag liye phir rahī hai shahr-ba-shahr

sag-e-zamāna haiñ ham kyā hamārī hijrat kyā

dimashq-e-maslahat o kūfa-e-nifāq ke biich

fuġhān-e-qāfila-e-be-navā kī qīmat kyā

ma.āl-e-izzat-e-sādāt-e-ishq dekh ke ham

badal ga.e to badalne pe itnī hairat kyā

qimār-ḳhāna-e-hastī meñ ek baazī par

tamām umr lagā dī to phir shikāyat kyā

faroġh-e-san.at-e-qad-āvarī kā mausam hai

subuk hue pe bhī niklā hai qadd-o-qāmat kyā
