kab lag sake jafa ko us ki wafa-e-alam

hai jis ka har karishma sabr-azma-e-alam

muhtaj phir jaha.n mei.n koi nazar na aata

karta khuda jo mujh ko hajat-rawa-e-alam

hum ko to kuchh na sujha aawe wahi dikha de

dekha ho gar kisi ne kuchh ya wara-e-alam

aalam agar hai hadis to mujh ko tu bata de

kyun ab talak hai wo hi nashw-o-numa-e-alam

koi kuchh hi samjhe is ko par apni aankh mei.n to

sath is hudus ke hai sabit baqa-e-alam

wo bhi nazar mei.n apni is waqt jalwa-gar hai

aalam jo kuchh ki hoga baad-az fana-e-alam

aankhe.n to tujh ko di hai.n Tuk dekh to sahi tu

hai rast kis ke qad par chaspa.n qaba-e-alam

aalam mei.n aur hum mei.n ik-tarfa raftagi hai

aalam fida hai hum par hum hain faida-e-alam

hum ibtida ki puchhe.n phir baiTh kar haqiqat

hum ko koi bata de gar intiha-e-alam

kya lutf aashiqi ka ab rah gaya hamari

yan aakhir-e-jawani wan ibtida-e-alam

kis ghuncha-lab ki mujh ko yaad aa gai hai is dam

jo tang ho gaya hai mujh par faza-e-alam

aise se dad-khwahi mahshar mei.n bhi sitam hai

har ek ghamza jis ka ho khuu.n-baha-e-alam

kab dad ko kisi ki pahuncha wo ru-e-dilkash

hum ne to us ko paya hasrat-faza-e-alam

jab aalam-e-haya se begana wo nigah thi

pate the tab bhi us ko hum aashna-e-alam

hain mushafi hum ab to manind hadse ke

dekhe.n Tale hai kis din sar se bala-e-alam
