chand ka raqs sitaron ka fusun mangti hai
zindagi phir koi andaz-e-junun mangti hai

muddaten guzrin ki yakh-basta hue qalb-o-jigar
ghairat-e-ishq magar soz-e-darun mangti hai

faiz-e-mausam tha parinde hue aazad magar
khu-e-sayyaad wahi said-e-zabun mangti hai

fasl-e-gul ke liye kya jaan pe khele koi
ab to har mauj-e-hawa tohfa-e-khun mangti hai

kuchh to ai yurish-e-alam-o-hawadis dam le
gardish-e-waqt bhi thoda sa sakun mangti hai

khubi-e-fan nahin parwarda-e-awurd 'sahar'
ruh-e-takhliq dam-e-kun-fa-yakun mangti hai
