ye kis rashk-e-masiha ka makan hai
zamin yan ki chahaarum aasman hai

khuda pinhan hai aalam aashkara
nihan hai ganj virana ayan hai

dil-e-raushan hai raushan-gar ki manzil
ye aaina sikandar ka makan hai

takalluf se bari hai husn-e-zati
qaba-e-gul mein gul-buta kahan hai

pasijega kabhi to dil kisi ka
hamesha apni aahon ka dhuan hai

ba-rang-e-bu hun gulshan mein main bulbul
baghal ghunche ke mera aashiyan hai

shagufta rahti hai khatir hamesha
qanaat bhi bahaar-e-be-khizan hai

chaman ki sair par hota hai jhagda
kamar meri hai dast-e-baghban hai

bahut aata hai yaad ai sabr-e-miskin
khuda khush rakkhe tujh ko tu jahan hai

ilahi ek dil kis kis ko dun main
hazaron but hain yan hindostan hai

yaqin hota hai khushbui se is ke
kisi gul-ru ka ghuncha itr-dan hai

watan mein apne ahl-e-shauq ki tarah
safar mein roz-o-shab reg-e-rawan hai

sahar howe kahin shabnam kare kuch
gul o bulbul ka dariya darmiyan hai

saadat-mand qismat par hain shakir
huma ko maghz-e-baadam ustukhwan hai

dil-e-betab jo is mein gire hain
zaqan jaanan ka para ka kuan hai

jaras ke sath dil rahte hain nalan
mere yusuf ka aashiq karwan hai

na kah rindon ko harf-e-sakht waiz
durusht ahl-e-jahannum ki zaban hai

qad-e-mahbub ko shaer kahen sarw
qayamat ka ye ai 'atish' nishan hai
