Rab ko kyon insan ne kabhi marham na samjha

Rab ko kyon insan ne kabhi marham na samjha
Ta’ajub hai, ke yeh baat dair o haram na samjha

Maana usey sab ne bas daata o karam farma
Tabeebah o habeeba o jaanam na samjha

Varna aaj hotey na jhagre na yeh fitne hazaar
Khuda ko humsafar kabhi hum qadam na samjha

Maangi duaen, iltijaayen keen be shumaar
Dene waale ke siwa sach munaeem na samjha

Khushiyaan jo aayeen huin ravaan yak lakhta
Qissa aamad o raft ka to ranj o gham na samjha

Be paayaan yeh armaan samjhaye inhen kaun
Aasaan si yeh baat to aakiri dum na samjha

Kaash, hum khud ko puchh lete garajne se pehle
Auron ka dard ‘sahil’ to zulm o sitam na samjha
