bulbula phute pe ho jata hai aab
jaan o jaanan mein hai ye hasti hijab

kya jhalakte hain dur-e-dandan tere
aisi moti mein kahan hai aab-o-tab

haiga nurani rukh-e-raushan tera
raat ko mahtab din ko aaftab

be-tarah us ghar-base ki yaad mein
ab tadapta hai dil-e-khana-kharab

shad aankhon se kiya hai dekh 'ishq'
abru-e-jaanan ki bait-e-intikhab
