Dil soz se khaali hai, nigah paak nahi hai
Phir is mein ajab kya ke tu be-baak nahi hai
Hai zouq-e-tajalli bhi isi khaak mein pinhaan
Ghaafil tu nira saahib-e-idraak nahi hai
Woh aankh ke hai surma-e-afrang se roshan
Purkaar o sukhan saaz hai, namnak nahi hai
Kab tak rahe mahkoomi-e-anjum mein meri khaak
Ya main nahi, ya gardish-e-aflaak nahi hai
Bijli hoon, my gaze is on mountains and deserts
For me, twigs and straw are not befitting
Aalam hai faqat momin-e-janbaaz ki miraas
Momin nahi jo saahib-e-Lolak nahi hai
