aasman aur zamin ka hai tafawut har-chand

jo aala-zarf hote hain hamesha jhuk ke milte hain

kisi ne mol na puchha dil-e-shikasta ka

aisi unchi bhi to diwar nahin ghar ki tere

libas-e-kaba ka hasil kiya sharaf usne

main us gulshan ka bulbul hun bahaar aane nahin pati

koi but-KHane ko jata hai koi kabe ko

aaj tak apni jagah dil mein nahin apne hui

adam se dahr mein aana kise gawara tha

kaT kar par mutmain sayyaad be-parwa na ho

uTh gai hain samne se kaisi kaisi suraten

hamara kaba-e-maqsud tera taq-e-abru hai

tere abru-e-pewasta ka aalam mein fasana hai

na puchh haal mera chob-e-KHushk-e-sahra hun

na gor-e-sikandar na hai qabr-e-dara
