ai meri aankho ye be-sud justuju kaisi
jo khwab khwab rahin un ki aarzu kaisi

ragon mein khun hai shakhon ki surkh-ru ghunche
khizan mein ab ke bahaaron ki rang-o-bu kaisi

tamam patton ko mausam ne zard zard kiya
ye ek shakh-e-tamanna hai sabz-ru kaisi

karo to yaad milan ke wo awwalin lamhe
ki chhid gai thi nigahon mein guftugu kaisi

ye shahr-e-dil mein bhala aaj kis ki aamad hai
ye mahw-e-raqs hain khushbuen ku-ba-ku kaisi

ufuq ka chehra 'sukhan' is kadar udas hai kyun
shafaq ke rang mein ye surkhi-e-lahu kaisi
