Main Shama-e-bazm-e-alam-e-imkan Kiya Gaya
main shama-e-bazm-e-alam-e-imkan kiya gaya
insaniyat ko dekh ke insan kiya gaya
ab mere imtihan ka saman kiya gaya
yani supurd-e-alam-e-imkan kiya gaya
mahfuz main ne rakkhe junun ke tabarrukat
daman agar phaTa to gareban kiya gaya
tai kar ke irtiqa ke manazil ko shauq se
pahuncha jab apne had pe to insan kiya gaya
sach puchhiye to kya tha faqat ek KHar-zar
mere liye jahan ko gulistan kiya gaya
dariya to aur bhi the zamane mein be-shumar
aab-e-hayat chashma-e-haiwan kiya gaya
kuchh aur raushni ka baDha husn ya nahin
fanus mein jo shoale ko pinhan kiya gaya
