subh ko nikla tha garche karr-o-farr se aaftab
munh phiraya ho khajil us ishwa-gar se aaftab

aasman par gar gire barq-e-nigah-e-tund-bar
abr mein rah jae chhup kar us ke dar se aaftab

gar naqab apni ulat de wo rukh-e-tabinda se
gir pade betab ho kar charkh par se aaftab

dil mein jab se dekhta hai wo teri taswir ko
nur barsata hai apni chashm-e-tar se aaftab

haibat-e-shah-e-dakan se 'shad' ye shohra hai aaj
kanpta nikla kare jeb-e-sahar se aaftab
