یا رب یہ جہان گزراں خوب ہے لیکن (ردیف .. د)

ya rab ye jahaan-e-guzraan khoob hai lekin

kyun khwaar hain mardaan-e-safa-kesh o hunar-mand

go is ki khudaai mein mahaajan ka bhi hai haath

duniya to samjhti hai farangi ko khuda-wand

tu barg-e-gaya hai na wahi ahl-e-khirad raa

o kisht-e-gul-o-laala b-bakhshad b-khare chand

haazir hain kaleesa mein kebab o may-e-gulgoo'n

masjid mein dhara kya hai b-juz mau'izaa o pand

ahkaam tire haq hain magar apne mufassir

taawil se quraan ko bana sakte hain paazand

firdaus jo tera hai kisi ne nahin dekha

afrang ka har qaryaa hai firdaus ki maanind

muddat se hai aawaara-e-aflaak mera fikr

kar de ise ab chaand ke ghaaron mein nazar-band

fitrat ne mujhe bakshe hain jauhar malaakooti

khaaki hoon magar khaak se rakhta nahin paivand

darvesh-e-khuda-mast na sharqi hai na garbi

ghar mera na dilli na safaahaan na samarkand

kehta hoon wahi baat samajhta hoon jise haq

ne aabla-e-masjid hoon na tahzeeb ka farzand

apne bhi khafa mujh se hain begaane bhi na-khush

main zahar-e-halaahal ko kabhi kah na saka qand

mushkil hai ik banda-e-haq-been-o-haq-andesh

khaashaak ke tode ko kahe koh-e-damaavand

hoon aatish-e-namrood ke sholoon mein bhi khaamosh

main banda-e-momin hoon nahin daana-e-aspand

pur-soz nazar-baaz o niko-been o kam aarzoo

azaad o girftaar o tahee keesa o khursand

har haal mein mera dil-e-be-qaid hai khurram

kya chheenega gunche se koi zauq-e-shakar-khand

chup rah na saka hazrat-e-yazdaan mein bhi iqbaal

karta koi is banda-e-gustaakh ka munh band
