rumūz-e-be-ḳhudī samjhe na asrār-e-ḳhudī samjhe

baḌī shai hai agar apnī haqīqat aadmī samjhe

ziyā andar ziyā tanvīr dar tanvīr zau dar zau

koī āḳhir kahāñ tak rāz-hā-e-zindagī

nahīñ haTtī nazar anjām-e-ālam se nahīñ haTtī

use koī ḳhudī gardān le yā be-ḳhudī samjhe

bahut mushkil hai is me.aar kī rindī zamāne meñ

jo laġhzish ko gunah aur be-ḳhudī ko zindagī samjhe

jab ehsās-e-bulandī past kar detā hai fitrat ko

ye mushkil hai phir insāñ aadmī ko aadmī samjhe

junūñ ik manzil-e-be-nām ko tai kartā jaatā hai

kise fursat hai jo sūd-o-ziyān-e-zindagī samjhe

hameñ to muddatoñ se justujū hai aise insāñ kī

hamārī zindagī ko bhī jo apnī zindagī samjhe

jalā paatī hai is se ruuh dil bedār hotā hai

baḌī muddat meñ ham 'ehsān' qadr-e-muflisī samjhe
