nikhat-o-rang na mausam ki hawa thahri hai
gul ki qismat mein ba-har-haal fana thahri hai

zakhm-e-dil khil uthe hanste hue phulon ki tarah
ek lamhe ko jahan baad-e-saba thahri hai

maut ko kahiye ilaj-e-gham-e-hasti lekin
zindagi kaun se jurmon ki saza thahri hai

aur mansur koi mashhad-e-hasti mein na tha
laeq-e-dar jo ek meri ana thahri hai

husn-e-mukhtar hai har baat rawa hai is ko
fitrat-e-ishq to paband-e-wafa thahri hai

koi naghma koi jhankar koi hosh-ruba
dil hi bahla len tabiat jo zara thahri hai
