خودی کی خلوتوں میں گم رہا میں
خدا کے سامنے گویا نہ تھا میں!
Khudi ki khalvaton mein gum raha main
Khuda ke samne goya na tha main!
نہ دیکھا آنکھ اٹھا کر جلوۂ دوست
قیامت میں تماشا بن گیا میں!
Na dekha aankh utha kar jalva-e-dost
Qayamat mein tamasha ban gaya main!

A quatrain: lost in the solitudes of selfhood, the speaker stood before God as if he were not there; he never raised his eyes to the beloved's splendour, and on the Day of Judgement became a spectacle himself.
