kafir tha main ḳhuda ka na munkir dua ka tha lekin yahan saval shikast-e-ana ka tha kuchh ishq-o-ashiqi pe nahin

hu-ba-hu aap hi ki murat hai zindagi kitni ḳhub-surat hai jis tarah phuul ki gulistan ko zindagi ko miri zarurat

abhi zamin ko haft asman banana hai isi jahan ko mujhe do-jahan banana hai bhaTak raha hai akela jo koh-o-sahra

dil ki girhen kahan vo kholta hai chahaton men bhi jhuuT bolta hai sang-rezon ko apne hathon se motiyon ki

hansi men saghar-e-zarrin khanak khanak jaae shabab us ki sada ka chhalak chhalak jaae dil-o-nazar men basi hai vo chand

raat aai hai bachchon ko paḌhane men laga huun ḳhud jo na bana un ko banane men laga huun vo

gai guzri kahani lag rahi hai mujhe har shai purani lag rahi hai vo kahta hai ki faani hai ye

kaha tha us ne mohabbat ki aabru rakhna chubhe hon kitne bhi kanTe gulon ki ḳhu rakhna dilon ko toḌ

kahte hain ham udhar hain sitara hai jis taraf main janta huun un ka ishara hai jis taraf sab chahte

tamam alam-e-imkan mire guman men hai vo tiir huun jo abhi vaqt ki kaman men hai abhi vo sub.h nahin
