goya chaman chaman na tha
aisa ujad ban na tha

khun se tar rawish rawish
rang-e-gul-o-saman na tha

khar-e-alam se tar tar
kaun sa pairahan na tha

sikka-e-dil kharab-haal
us ka kahin chalan na tha

aaj agar guzar gaya
kal ka koi jatan na tha

bazm-e-adab bhi dam-ba-khud
kahne ko kuchh sukhan na tha

nasr tamam tar fuzul
sher asar-e-fagan na tha
