yahi nahin ki faqat bam-o-dar se bach ke chalun
talash-e-yar men shams-o-qamar se bach ke chalun
ye rang-o-nur hain daman-kash-e-hayat magar
hai maslahat ka taqaza udhar se bach ke chalun
ye pech-o-ḳham ye nasheb-o-faraz-e-rah-e-hayat
kahan se ho ke chalun aur kidhar se bach ke chalun
jo saath de na sake ta-harim-e-jalva-e-naz
main chahta huun har us rahguzar se bach ke chalun
jahan jabin ko na hasil ho rif.at-e-aflak
us astane se us sang-e-dar se bach ke chalun
main mutma.in nahin raftar-e-karvan se hanuz
ḳhata muaaf agar rahbar se bach ke chalun
main rang-e-gardish-e-dauran ko dekh kar ‘at.har’
ye sochta huun ki sham-o-sahar se bach ke chalun
