jinhen main DhunDhta tha aasmanon mein zaminon mein

aasman hoga sahar ke nur se aaina-posh

maktaboñ meñ kahīñ rānāi-e-afkār bhī hai

jab ishq sikhātā hai ādāb-e-ḳhud-āgāhī

uqābī shan se jhapTe the jo be-bāl-o-par nikle

nikal kar KHanqahon se ada kar rasm-e-shabbiri

dil soz se ḳhālī hai nigah pak nahīñ hai

kabhi ai haqiqat-e-muntazir nazar aa libas-e-majaz mein

kushāda dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyāz kare

KHuda-e-lam-yazal ka dast-e-qudrat tu zaban tu hai

aflāk se aatā hai nāloñ kā jawāb āḳhir

nishan yahi hai zamane mein zinda qaumon ka

na taḳht-o-tāj meñ ne lashkar-o-sipāh meñ hai

ek danish-e-nurani ek danish-e-burhani

ye kaun ġhazal-ḳhwāñ hai pur-soz o nashāt-añgez

jahan agarche digar-gun hai qum-be-iznillah

ḳhudī wo bahr hai jis kā koī kināra nahīñ

ḳhird-mandoñ se kyā pūchhūñ ki merī ibtidā kyā hai

KHudi ke saz mein hai umr-e-jawedan ka suragh

wahī merī kam-nasībī wahī terī be-niyāzī

phir charagh-e-lala se raushan hue koh-o-daman

rahā na halqa-e-sūfī meñ soz-e-mushtāqī

tere ishq ki intiha chahta hun

jin ke hangamon se the aabaad virane kabhi

digar-gūñ hai jahāñ tāroñ kī gardish tez hai saqī

ḳhirad ne mujhko atā kī nazar hakīmāna

hādsa wo jo abhī parda-e-aflāk meñ hai
