Ghair-e-tawakkul Nahin Chaara Mujhe

ghair-e-tawakkul nahin chaara mujhe

apne hi dam ka hai sahaara mujhe

hirs-o-tama ne to Duboya hi tha

sabr-o-qanaat ne ubhaara mujhe

jo wo kahe us ko saza-war hai

chun-o-chara ka nahin yara mujhe

be-adabon ki adab-amoziyan

in ke bigaDne ne sanwara mujhe

koshish-e-be-sud mushawwash na kar

qar na ban jae kinara mujhe

zishti-e-pindar dilata hai yaad

qissa-e-askandar-o-dara mujhe

nang-e-muzillat se chhuDa le gaya

josh-e-hamiyyat ka harara mujhe

auj-e-maali pe uDa le gaya

tausan-e-himmat ka tarara mujhe

aah nahin ruKHsat-e-ifsha-e-raaz

qissa to malum hai sara mujhe

fursat-e-auqat hai bas mughtanim

ye nahin milne ki dobara mujhe
