shor hai us sabza-e-rukhsar ka
aaj tuti bolta hai yar ka

kis ada se hath rakkha qabze par
pad gaya putli mein dam talwar ka

ashk-e-be-tasir se hun aab aab
uqda hun main aansuon ke tar ka

bujh gaya mera charagh-e-zindagi
dekh kar wo qumquma rukhsar ka

kis maraz ki hai dawa unnab-e-lab
khatt-e-rukh nuskha hai kis bimar ka

ab ki aisi haar hai fasl-e-bahaar
gul hai but-khala zaban-e-khar ka

abru-e-ghilman hai wo mehrab-e-dar
zulf-e-hura saya hai diwar ka

lene wale le gae hosh-o-hawas
bik gaya sauda mere bazar ka

jab main nikla khalq ne ghera mujhe
mera sauda qarz hai bazar ka

juu-e-jannat hai chehre sayyaad ki
meri gardan par hai haq gulzar ka

aab-kari ki ho khidmat 'bahr' ko
na-khuda hai kashti-e-mai-khwar ka
