Ai raaste! hum bhi musafir haiN apni wafa hamare naam likhna
soubatein to dayar-e-ishq kay aham mor hain na tum unhain anjam likhna

chalo us nay ham ko be wafai kay qabil to samjha
ai khuda! na aur kisi ki taqdeer main aisa talkh jaam likhna

aasman pay jab shafaq phut ti hai to wo pari-e-saba yaad aay
kahan ka insaf hai ye koshish karnaywalay ko nakam likhna

kaainat kay khaliq kay kalaam ko woh shayri kehtay they
socho logon! kiya hai mushkil aisay khuda kay liye kitab-e-ilham likhna

bina kisi dar kay baatil kay khilaf ailan-e-jang karna tum
jab likhna tehreer-e-haq ko bay lagaam likhna

us haseen ittefaq pay geet, ghazal aur jaanay kiya kiya likha
woh paikar-e-husn aise ke din khatam ho jaaye to shaam likhna

ishq, mohabbat, husn waghaira pay duniya likhti rehti hai
irfan dard-e-dil ko jo sadd-e-bab karay aisa tum kalaam likhna
