ajib bhul-bhulayyan hai shahrah-e-hayat

bhaTakne wale yahan justuju ki baat na kar

bandagī terī ḳhudā.ī se bahut hai aage

naqsh-e-sajda hai tire naqsh-e-qadam se pahle

bandagi teri KHudai se bahut hai aage

naqsh-e-sajda hai tere naqsh-e-qadam se pahle

ġham-e-dil kā asar har bazm meñ hai

yahi hain yaadgar-e-ghuncha-o-gul is zamane mein

inhin sukhe hue kanTon se zikr-e-gulsitan likhiye

zulm sahte rahe shukr karte rahe aai lab tak na ye dastan aaj tak

mujh ko hairat rahi anjuman mein teri kyun hain KHamosh ahl-e-zaban aaj tak
