main jis ko apni gawahi mein le ke aaya hun

kahan ke nam o nasab ilm kya fazilat kya

ye moajaza bhi kisi ki dua ka lagta hai

KHak mein daulat-e-pindar-o-ana milti hai

hum bhi ek sham bahut uljhe hue the KHud mein

duniya badal rahi hai zamane ke sath sath

KHud ko bikharte dekhte hain kuchh kar nahin pate hain

wafa ki KHair manata hun bewafai mein bhi

bas ek KHwab ki surat kahin hai ghar mera

ye raushni ke taaqub mein bhagta hua din

ajib hi tha mere daur-e-gumrahi ka rafiq

subh sawere ran paDna hai aur ghamsan ka ran

zindagi bhar ki kamai yahi misre do-chaar

umid-o-bim ke mehwar se haT ke dekhte hain

azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya
