baat ek jaisi hai hajw ya qasida likh

baat ek jaisī hai hajv yā qasīda likh

be-niyāziyāñ us kī ho ke ābdīda likh

jam.a kar ye āvāzeñ merī ḳhud-kalāmī kī

aur un ke imle se dard kā jarīda likh

zehn kī hidāyat hai kātib-e-zamāna ko

aql kī dalīloñ se aaj kā aqīda likh

rañg-o-raushnā.ī kī hadd-e-auj se uupar

ho sake to andāzan qāmat-e-kashīda likh

dekh un ḳhalāoñ meñ nuqta-hā-e-nūr us ke

tū bhī ek ḳhāliq hai sher chīda chīda likh

baat ek jaisi hai hajw ya qasida likh

be-niyaziyan us ki ho ke aabdida likh

jama kar ye aawazen meri KHud-kalami ki

aur un ke imle se dard ka jarida likh

zehn ki hidayat hai katib-e-zamana ko

aql ki dalilon se aaj ka aqida likh

rang-o-raushnai ki hadd-e-auj se upar

ho sake to andazan qamat-e-kashida likh

dekh un KHalaon mein nuqta-ha-e-nur us ke

tu bhi ek KHaliq hai sher chida chida likh
