jahan mein jis ki shohrat ku-ba-ku hai

wo aalam tishnagi ka hai safar aasan nahin lagta

kabhi to dil ka kaha dil se wo sunega hi

baad-e-sarsar bhi qurbat ki chalti rahe din nikalta rahe sham Dhalti rahe

paigham-e-zindagi hai KHushi ki nawed hai

rakkhe har ek qadam pe jo mushkil ki aagahi

KHamosh hun main lab pe shikayat to nahin hai

wafa ke raaz se parda nahin uThaungi

idrak hi muhaal hai KHwab-o-KHayal ka

wo is ada se dua karega

main dariya hun magar donon taraf sahil hai tanhai

bigaDne wala kisi din sanwar hi jaega

hai tarjuman alam aur adib hai sardi

agar alfaz se gham ka izala ho gaya hota

aankhon mein wo aaen to hansate hain mujhe KHwab
