bana kar KHud ko jis ne ek bhala insan rakkha hai

banā kar ḳhud ko jis ne ik bhalā insān rakkhā hai

sukūn-e-qalb kā apne liye sāmān rakkhā hai

sukūñ ke saath jiinā to bahut dushvār hai lekin

zamāna ne pahuñchnā marg tak āsān rakkhā hai

na kyuuñ mohtāt rakhkhūñ ḳhud ko vaqt-e-guftugū tum se

tumhāre dil ko maiñ ne ābgīna jaan rakkhā hai

parī kyuuñ niiñd kī utre mirī palkoñ ke āñgan meñ

ki maiñ ne paal kar dil meñ ajab bohrān rakkhā hai

dar-o-dīvār par haiñ ghoñsle kitne parindoñ ke

kahūñ kaise ki qudarat ne ye ghar vīrān rakkhā hai

atā kar sāmnā karne kī jur.at ai ḳhudā dil meñ

mirī kashtī kī qismat meñ agar tūfān rakkhā hai

mire uupar 'valī' sab se baḌā ehsān hai us kā

ki jis ne shāḳh-e-dil par phuul sā īmān rakhā hai

bana kar KHud ko jis ne ek bhala insan rakkha hai

sukun-e-qalb ka apne liye saman rakkha hai

sukun ke sath jina to bahut dushwar hai lekin

zamana ne pahunchna marg tak aasan rakkha hai

na kyun mohtat rakhkhun KHud ko waqt-e-guftugu tum se

tumhaare dil ko main ne aabgina jaan rakkha hai

pari kyun nind ki utre meri palkon ke aangan mein

ki main ne pal kar dil mein ajab bohran rakkha hai

dar-o-diwar par hain ghonsle kitne parindon ke

kahun kaise ki qudarat ne ye ghar viran rakkha hai

ata kar samna karne ki jurat ai KHuda dil mein

meri kashti ki qismat mein agar tufan rakkha hai

mere upar 'wali' sab se baDa ehsan hai us ka

ki jis ne shaKH-e-dil par phul sa iman rakha hai
