ba-qadre-paimana-e-taKhayyul surur har dil meN hai khudii kaa
agar na ho ye fareb-e-paiham to dam nikal jaye aadmii kaa
hai rooh taariikiyoN mein hairaaN, bujhaa huaa hai chiraaG-e-manzil
kahiiN sar-e-raah ye musaafir patak na de bojh zindagii kaa
bas ek ehsaas-e-naarsaai, na josh is meN, na hosh us meN
junooN pe haalat ruboodgii kii, khirad pe aalam Ghunuudgii kaa
Khudaa ki rahmat pe bhuul baiThuuN, yahii na maanii haiN iske waaez
voh abr ka muntazir khaDaa ho, makaaN jaltaa ho jab kisii kaa
voh laakh jhukvaa le sar ko mere magar ye dil ab nahiiN jhukegaa
ki kibriyaaii se bhii zyaada mizaaj naazuk hai bandagii kaa
agar na ho ye fareb-e-paiham to dam nikal jaye aadmii kaa
