Aashnaa the Khud se, phir naa-aashnaa hote gaYe
Ho bhalaa is i'shq kaa, ham kyaa se kyaa hote gaYe!

Ashk-e-Gham behte rahe aur naqsh-e-paa hote gaYe
zindagee ke qarZ saare yooN adaa hote gaYe

Naa-rasaayee kaa fasaanaa kyaa kaheN, kis se kaheN?
manzileN aayeeN to ham be-dast-o-paa hote gaYe

Ittifaaqa" apnee Haalat par nazar jab jab paRee
Ham nigaahoN meN Khud apnee be-ridaa hote gaYe

Regzaar-e-aarzoo meN waqt woh ham par paRaa
raahzan chehre badal kar rehnumaa hote gaYe

ahl-e-dunyaa kee Zaraa dekho karam-farmaa,iyaaN
aaR meN eemaaN kee bande bhee Khudaa hote gaYe

I'shq kee be-taabiyoN kee laZZateN mat poochhiYe
naalah-haaYe aarzo Harf-e-du,a'a hote gaYe

Yeh kaho "Sarwar"! tumhaaree inkisaaree kyaa huyee?
Tum bhee dunyaa kee taraH kyoN Khud-numaa hote gaYe?
