ai rabb-e-zul-jalal hai meri khata buland
lekin khata se badh ke hai teri ata buland

aankhen jhuki hui hain saron par hijab hai
kirdar munfarid hai jo hum ne rakha buland

moti jhalak rahe hain jo shabnam ke ot se
phulon se gulsitan ki hui hai faza buland

husn-o-jamal chand sitaron ka tazkira
is dastan-e-shokh mein sab kuchh kaha buland

kis ka lahu fazaon mein phaila hai har taraf
badli se ho raha hai jo rang-e-hina buland

tute hue dilon ko ghazal mein saja diya
shishagari mein 'chashma' hai us ki ada buland
