Likhun to kya likhun

Ke likhun to ab kya likhun,

kaifiyat e Majbooriyan likhun ya aazmaaeish e aftab likhun,

haal-e-dil ki kashmakash likhun ya zindagani ki jad-do-jehad ke fasane likhun.

Aaina mujhse pooche hai,kis rah ka talabghar hun;

kaise likhun imroz-o-farda ka ilm nahin,bas akhirat ka talabghar hun.

Khushi-e-zahir likhun ya gham-o-batin likhun, 

likhun to kuch pal zindagni ke,wo ibadat ke wo khalwat nashini ke. 

Likhun to tanhai likhun aur Arsh-e-bari ke Qaseede likhun. 

Jab khayal aye duniya ka, mujhe alfaz ke jugnu na mile;

ilm ka chiragh jo dhoondha, qalam roshni likhti gayi.
