Karein ge ahl-e-nazar taaza bastiyan abaad
Meri nigah nahiin soe Koofa o Baghdaad
Yeh madrasa, yeh jawaan, yeh surur o ranai
Inhi ke dam se hai mai khana-e-Farang abaad
Na falsafi se, na mulla se hai ghraz mujh ko
Yeh dil ki maut, woh andesha o nazar ka fasaad
Faqih-e-shehr ki tahqeer kya majaal meri
Magar yeh baat ke main dhoondta hoon dil ki kashaad
Khareed sakte hain duniya mein ishrat-e-Parvez
Khuda ki dein hai sarmaaya-e-gham Farhad
Kiye hain faash ramooz-e-qalandari main ne
Ke fikr-e-madrasa o khanqah ho azaad
Rishi ke faaqon se toota na Barahman ka tilism
Asa na ho to Kaleemi hai kaar-e-bunyad
