Sharten jo bandagi mein lagana rawa hua

sharten jo bandagi mein lagana rawa hua
ai waizon namaz na Thahri jua hua

ubhra jo ru-siyah tunuk-zarf kya hua
had se siwa jo KHal hua wo masa hua

puchho na ku-e-yar-e-adam ki musafiro
Dharra hai su-e-gor-e-gariban laga hua

sukha hawa-e-gham se jo kuchh tazgi hui
main wo shajar hun KHushk hua jab hara hua

sani muhaal hai sanam-e-la-jawab ka
paida koi KHuda ka nahin dusra hua

misl-e-habab dam mein fana ho jo aadmi
pani ka bulbula na hua aur kya hua

wo dil-jala hun jis mein meri KHak mil gai
jo naKHl is zamin pe hua aag ka hua

naKHun-KHarashiyon se jarahat jo baDh chale
nasur aur zaKHm-e-kuhan mein siwa hua

hanste to gul-ruKHon se hain misl-e-dahan-e-zaKHm
lekin hai aable ki tarah dil dukha hua

sakit zaban ho gai ai 'shad' marte dam
kya band andalib mera bolta hua
