متاع بے بہا ہے درد و سوز آرزو مندی

mata-e-be-baha hai dard-o-soz-e-aarzoomandi

maqaam-e-bandagi de kar na luun shaan-e-khudaavandi

tire azaad bandon ki na ye duniya na vo duniya

yahan marne ki paabandi wahan jeene ki paabandi

hijaab ikseer hai aawaara-e-koo-e-mohabbat ko

meri aatish ko bhadrkaati hai teri der-paivandi

guzar-auqaat kar leta hai ye koh o biyaabaan mein

ki shaheen ke liye zillat hai kaar-e-aashiyaan-bandi

ye faizaan-e-nazar tha ya ki khushhaali ki karaamat thi

sikhaaye kis ne ismaail ko aadaab-e-farzandi

ziyaarat-gaah-e-ahl-e-azm-o-himmat hai lahd meri

ki khaak-e-raah ko main ne bataaya raaz-e-alvandi

meri mashshaatgi ki kya zaroorat husn-e-ma'ni ko

ki fitrat khud-b-khud karti hai laale ki hina-bandi
