lu ke mausam mein bahaaron ki hawa mangte hain
hum kaf-e-dast-e-khizan par bhi hina mangte hain

ham-nashin sada-dili-ha-e-tamanna mat puchh
be-wafaon se wafaon ka sila mangte hain

kash kar lete kabhi kaba-e-dil ka bhi tawaf
wo jo patthar ke makanon se khuda mangte hain

jis mein ho satwat-e-shahin ki parwaz ka rang
lab-e-shair se wo bulbul ki nawa mangte hain

taki duniya pe khule un ka fareb-e-insaf
be-khata ho ke khataon ki saza mangte hain

tirgi jitni badhe husn ho afzun tera
kahkashan mang mein mathe pe ziya mangte hain

ye hai waraftagi-e-shauq ka aalam 'sardar'
barish-e-sang hai aur baad-e-saba mangte hain
