amin-e-ghairat-e-ulfat jo zindagi hogi
wo be-KHudi mein bhi shaista-e-KHudi hogi
jo maslahat pe zarurat ko Talti hogi
wo zindagi nahin tauhin-e-zindagi hogi
nigah kar le KHud apne zamir par duniya
hamara zarf to duniya bhi jaanti hogi
mahall-e-sajda jahan hoga sar jhukega wahin
asir-e-qaid-e-tayyun na bandagi hogi
is e'timad pe har gham mein muskuraata hun
hui hai sham to 'muKHtar' subh bhi hogi
Ghazal
Amin-e-ghairat-e-ulfat jo zindagi hogi
