یہ پیام دے گئی ہے مجھے باد صبح گاہی

ye payaam de gai hai mujhe baad-e-subh-gaahi

ki khudi ke aarifon ka hai maqaam paadshaahi

tiri zindagi isee se tiri aabroo isee se

jo rahi khudi to shaahi na rahi to roo-siyaahi

na diya nishaan-e-manzil mujhe ai hakeem tu ne

mujhe kya gila ho tujh se tu na rah-nasheen na raahi

mere halka-e-sukhan mein abhi zer-e-tarbiyat hain

vo gada ki jaante hain rah-o-rasm-e-kaj-kulaahi

ye muaamle hain naazuk jo tiri raza ho tu kar

ki mujhe to khush na aaya ye tariq-e-khaanqaahi

tu huma ka hai shikaari abhi ibtida hai teri

nahin maslahat se khaali ye jahaan-e-murg-o-maahi

tu arab ho ya ajam ho tira la ilaah illa

lughat-e-ghareeb jab tak tira dil na de gawaahi
