hairat hai aah-e-subh ko sari faza sune
lekin zamin pe but na falak par khuda sune

fariyaad-e-andalib se kanpe tamam bagh
lekin na gul na ghuncha na baad-e-saba sune

khud apni hi sadaon se gunje hue hain kan
koi kisi ki baat sune bhi to kya sune

ye bhi ajab tilism hai ai shorish-e-hayat
dard-ashna ki baat na dard-ashna sune

shahon ke dil to sang hain shahon ka zikr kya
ye bhi nahin ki haal gada ka gada sune

aalam hai ye ki gosh-e-bashar tak hai be-niyaz
hona tha ye ki banda kahe aur khuda sune

sunte bhi hain jo log to yun dastan-e-gham
jaise yazid saneha-e-karbala sune

han ai khuda-e-arsh-e-barin o butan-e-farsh
tum mein se ho koi to mera majra sune

pashmina-posh rah-nashinon ki iltija
shayad kabhi wo shahid-e-atlash-qaba sune

hum nadir o yazid na hajjaj hain na shimr
allah aur 'josh' hamari dua sune
