    shoala ye kam-tar hai gardun ke shararon se bhi kya

    kam-baha hai aaftab apna sitaron se bhi kya

    tuKHm-e-gul ki aankh zer-e-KHak bhi be-KHwab hai

    zindagi ka shoala is dane mein jo mastur hai

    KHud-numai KHud-fazai ke liye majbur hai

    sardi-e-marqad se bhi afsurda ho sakta nahin

    KHak mein dab kar bhi apna soz kho sakta nahin

    Dalti hai gardan-e-gardun mein jo apni kamand

    maut tajdid-e-mazaq-e-zindagi ka nam hai

    KHwab ke parde mein bedari ka ek paigham hai

    KHugar-e-parwaz ko parwaz mein Dar kuchh nahin

    maut is gulshan mein juz sanjidan-e-par kuchh nahin

    kahte hain ahl-e-jahan dard-e-ajal hai la-dawa

    ashk paiham dida-e-insan se hote hain rawan

    rabt ho jata hai dil ko nala o fariyaad se

    KHun-e-dil bahta hai aankhon ki sarishk-abaad se

    aadmi tab-e-shakebai se go mahrum hai

    us ki fitrat mein ye ek ehsas-e-na-malum hai

    jauhar-e-insan adam se aashna hota nahin

    aankh se ghaeb to hota hai fana hota nahin

    dam-e-simin-e-taKHayyul hai mera aafaq-gir

    kar liya hai jis se teri yaad ko main ne asir

    yaad se teri dil-e-dard aashna mamur hai

    jaise kabe mein duaon se faza mamur hai

    wo faraez ka tasalsul nam hai jis ka hayat

    jalwa-gahen us ki hain lakhon jahan-e-be-sabaat

    muKHtalif har manzil-e-hasti ko rasm-o-rah hai

    aaKHirat bhi zindagi ki ek jaulan-gah hai

    hai wahan be-hasili kisht-e-ajal ke waste

    sazgar aab-o-hawa tuKHm-e-amal ke waste

    nur-e-fitrat zulmat-e-paikar ka zindani nahin

    tang aisa halqa-e-afkar-e-insani nahin

    zindagani thi teri mahtab se tabinda-tar

    KHub-tar tha subh ke tare se bhi tera safar

    misl-e-aiwan-e-sahar marqad farozan ho tera

    nur se mamur ye KHaki shabistan ho tera

    aasman teri lahad par shabnam-afshani kare

    sabza-e-nau-rasta is ghar ki nigahbani kare
