har chaNd mirii quvvat-e-guftaar hai mahboos
Khamosh magar taba’a Khudaaraa nahiiN hoti

ma’moora-e-ehsaas meiN hai Hashr sa barpaa
insaan ki tazleel gavaaraa nahiiN hoti

naalaa houN maiN be-daari-e-ehsaas ke haathoN
duniyaa mire afkaar ki duniyaa nahiiN hoti!

begaanaa sifat jaada-e-manzil se guzar jaa
har cheez sazaa-vaar nazaaraa nahiiN hoti

fitrat ki mashiiyat bhi baRi cheez hai lekin
fitrat kabhii be-bas ka sahaaraa nahiiN hoti!
