surat-e-sabza-e-be-gana chaman se guzre
hum musafir ki tarah apne watan se guzre

sahl hai nara-e-mansur magar sahl nahin
har koi marhala-e-dar-o-rasan se guzre

lala-o-gul ko tabassum ki ziya di hum ne
jalwa-e-subh ki manind chaman se guzre

hai ye kya raushni-e-fikr ki tira-bakhti
jalwa-e-ruh na pairahan-e-tan se guzre

wo kare tajziya-e-mausam-e-gul jis ki nazar
bazm-e-gul mein hadd-e-nasrin-o-saman se guzre

dil pe kya guzri ye dil hi ko khabar hai lekin
muskuraate hue hum dar-e-mehan se guzre

na kisi panw ki aahat na koi naqsh-e-qadam
qafile ruh ke yun kucha-e-tan se guzre

ek zarre mein kabhi kho gain kitni kirnen
kitne khurshid kabhi ek kiran se guzre

nikhat-e-gesu-e-jaanan bhi ajab thi 'hurmat'
hum tasawwur mein kai bar khutan se guzre
