aankh jo nam ho wahi dida-e-tar mera hai
mauj-e-gham utthe kahin us ka guhar mera hai

dekh lun main to sitare hain na dekhun to dhuan
kya rasa itna kaf-e-dast-e-nazar mera hai

samar o gul hain gulistan-faroshon ke liye
aabyari ke liye khun-e-jigar mera hai

qasr ho ya ki lahad donon kiyraye ke makan
roz kahta hai koi aa ke ye ghar mera hai

dasht ki udti hui ret pe likh dete hain log
ye zamin meri ye diwar ye dar mera hai

is shar-abaad kharabe mein kahan husn-o-jamal
husn jitna bhi hai sab husn-e-nazar mera hai

maut hai jurat-e-izhaar ki pazmurda-labi
saz-e-takhliq lab-e-arz-e-hunar mera hai

wo khuda ho to ho main dhundne kyun jaun use
khud hi apna le mujhe badh ke wo gar mera hai

kat ke sar padhte hain nezon pe bhi quran 'wahid'
juzw-e-tan rah ke bhi chup kis liye sar mera hai
