Mamurieye dunia se aa sakte nahin bahar,
jinhen apni nahin khabar, wo mera kya pata denge.
rote hain khud kismat ko pade khake-chaman mein,
shakh se tute hue patte kya hawa denge.
baithe hain jo zere kafan pehle hi azal se,
wo mujhe jeene ka khak hosla denge.
khawabe gaflat mein khoye hain zahide-bemagz,
phirte hain khud barhana mujhe kya rida denge.
kya khoob shouke-kaamil hain mere hamdam,
pila kar zehar mujhe woh phir shifa denge.
meri parwaz dekhte hain hathon mein liye pathar,
woh abke mujhe tohfe mein fasile-garan denge…
