aah ye daur ki jis mein lab-o-rukhsar bike
dast-e-fitrat ke banae hue shahkar bike

dil ke jazbaat bike zehn ke afkar bike
sach to ye hai ki har ek ahd mein fankar bike

asr-e-hazir mein koi chiz bhi anmol nahin
ishq ki aan bike husn ka pindar bike

ek dahakti hui dozakh ko bujhane ke liye
kitne hi phul se paikar sar-e-bazar bike

nafs ki dewi ka pur-kaif ishaara pa kar
sahib-e-hosh bike sahab-e-kirdar bike

khud-gharaz chand nigahbanon ke hathon aksar
phul to phul hain gulzar ke gulzar bike

bazm-e-saqi bhi wo bazar-e-tarab hai 'wahid'
ek saghar pe jahan fitrat-e-khuddar bike
