ana rahi na meri mutlaq-ul-inani ki

qadam qadam pe naya imtihan hai mere liye

uski jam-e-jam aankhen shisha-e-badan mera

apni aankhon ko umidon se sajae rakhna

wo shaKHs kya hai mere waste sunaen use

lafzon mein ek nae safar ka karta hai aaghaz badan

baDa muKHlis hun paband-e-wafa hun

bina-e-arz-o-falak harf-e-ibtida hun main

wada-e-wasl hai lazzat-e-intizar uTha

itna yaqin rakh ki guman baqi rahe

KHush-shanasi ka sila karb ka sahra hun main

abhi gunah ka mausam hai aa shabab mein aa

ajib shaKHs hai dharti pe aasman sa hai

wo nishana bhi KHata jata to behtar hota

dasht-o-sahra phir se apnaen bhi kya
