gil ka wo rukh bahaar ke aaghaz se utha
shoala sa andalib ki aawaz se utha

nau-dast zakhma-war ne mita di had-e-kamal
parde jale tamam dhuan saz se utha

jaise dua-e-nim-shabi ka surud ho
ek shor mai-kade mein is andaz se utha

mahzar liye junun mein sawal-o-jawab ka
parda sa ek dida-e-ghammaz se utha

baqi abhi hai tangi-o-wusat mein ek farq
is ko bhi jumbish-e-lab-e-eajaz se utha

isyan sarisht-o-paki-e-daman ki ek dalil
kya lutf husn-e-tafraqaأpardaz se utha

wo shakhs tha muraqqa-e-mani ki ek zid
rang-e-hazar husn-e-junnun-saz se utha

kante zamin se aur ziyaada hue tulua
ek masala bahaar ke aaghaz se utha

banti mata-e-kashf to kya aaine ki chhut
lazzat hi kuchh ishaara-e-ham-raaz se utha

yarab tu laj rakh mere shauq-e-fuzul ki
duniya hai nind mein meri aawaz se utha

ek manzar-e-kinara-e-baam aur de gaya
partaw sa koi us ke dar-baz se utha

main kya ki mere baad bhi jo log wan gae
koi na us ki anjuman-e-naz se utha

'madni' qafas mein subh hui aur us ke baad
dil se dhuan bhi hasrat-e-parwaz se utha
