aaina-e-hayat pe chhaya ghubar hai
jis ki taraf uthaen nazar dil-figar hai

taswir teri ahd-e-hasin ka hai ek naqsh
jo mere shahr-e-dil mein teri yaadgar hai

teri sharab-pash-nigahon ke faiz se
ab be-piye hi mujh ko surur-o-khumar hai

khushbu tumhaari dhundhti phirti rahi hamein
pahunchi wahin jahan pe hamara mazar hai

chaho jo tum na mujh se khafa ho kabhi bahaar
duniya-e-rang-o-bu pe tumhein ikhtiyar hai

aa jao tum bahaar ki takmil ke liye
mausam hai dil-fareb faza sazgar hai

'sartaj' qasr-e-zist imarat ajib hai
ne gosha-e-panah na rah-e-farar hai
