hum kufr se waqif hain na islam se waqif
ham kufr se vāqif haiñ na islām se vāqif
haiñ maz.habī parḳhāsh ke anjām se vāqif
tā-umr rahe haiñ jo mai-o-jām se vāqif
ho paa.e na vo gardish-e-ayyām se vāqif
tanvīr-e-sahar jin kī nigāhoñ meñ basī ho
kab hote haiñ vo tīrgi-e-shām se vāqif
manzil pe pahuñchnā hameñ dushvār nahīñ hai
ham haiñ ba-ḳhudā apne har ik gaam se vāqif
paikar meñ har ik shaḳhs ke partav hai usī kā
har shaḳhs hai us hastī-e-be-nām se vāqif
tadbīr kī ḳhūbī ise kahiye ki vafā meñ
ham ho na sake hasrat-e-nākām se vāqif
ho paa.e na vo azmat-e-hastī se shanāsā
jo ho na sake haiñ ġham-o-ālām se vāqif
vijdān pe ik barq sī lahrā.ī thī 'gauhar'
ho paa.e hamīñ haif na ilhām se vāqif
hum kufr se waqif hain na islam se waqif
hain mazhabi parKHash ke anjam se waqif
ta-umr rahe hain jo mai-o-jam se waqif
ho pae na wo gardish-e-ayyam se waqif
tanwir-e-sahar jin ki nigahon mein basi ho
kab hote hain wo tirgi-e-sham se waqif
manzil pe pahunchna hamein dushwar nahin hai
hum hain ba-KHuda apne har ek gam se waqif
paikar mein har ek shaKHs ke partaw hai usi ka
har shaKHs hai us hasti-e-be-nam se waqif
tadbir ki KHubi ise kahiye ki wafa mein
hum ho na sake hasrat-e-nakaam se waqif
ho pae na wo azmat-e-hasti se shanasa
jo ho na sake hain gham-o-alam se waqif
wijdan pe ek barq si lahrai thi 'gauhar'
ho pae hamin haif na ilham se waqif
