kivāḌ band bhī hai aur nīm-vā bhī hai
vo ruup anuup zarā ḳhush zarā ḳhafā bhī hai
sharīk-e-rāh-e-vafā gul-sarisht māh-ba-kaf
qatīl-e-gardish-e-daurāñ barahna-pā bhī hai
haqīqatoñ se fasānoñ ko kyā ilāqa hai
ḳhudā nahīñ bhī hai logo magar ḳhudā bhī hai
hujūm-e-naġhma-o-nik.hat meñ yuuñ to hotā hai
ḳhatā muaaf ḳhatā to nahīñ ḳhatā bhī hai
vahī ġhazal kī rivāyāt-e-kāfirī haiñ abhī
vahī hijāb vahī shoḳhī-e-adā bhī hai
ufuq ufuq abhī insāñ kī manzileñ haiñ 'vaqār'
usī zamīñ pe magar rāh-e-irtiqā bhī hai
