na samjhe koī us se dushmanī hai

mirī ik kam-suḳhan se dostī hai

sabhī ke kaam aa.e ibn-e-ādam

yahī dar-asl husn-e-zindagī hai

jise paḌhnā ho is meñ paḌh le sab kuchh

khulī merī kitāb-e-zindagī hai

mire kis kaam kā aisā samundar

lab-e-sāhil bhī jis ke tishnagī hai

ho rūdād-e-zamāna kī jo maz.har

vahī dar-asl rūh-e-shā.erī hai

mire dil par hai jis kī hukmarānī

abhī us meñ adā-e-kam-sinī hai

hai jis kā aaj girvīda zamāna

jahān-e-rañg-o-bū ye aarzī hai

ajam kī tarah hai gūñgā arab bhī

ye us kī maslahat yā be-hisī hai

nahīñ fursat tan-āsānī se us ko

alam-añgez ye ādam-kushī hai

bapā hai hashr se pahle hī mahshar

kahīñ duḳhtar kahīñ mādar paḌī hai

koī shatranj-bāzī meñ hai mashġhūl

kisī kī jaan par apnī banī hai

duā-e-ahl-e-ġhazza sun le yārab

musībat kī ye ik aisī ghaḌī hai

unheñ hai sirf terā hī sahārā

jahāñ bhaa.ī se bhaa.ī ajnabī hai

agar is meñ ho 'barqī' ādamiyat

farishtoñ se bhī afzal aadmī hai
