aks-e-raushan tera aaina-e-jaan mein rakkha
hum ne taswir ko hairat ke jahan mein rakkha

kaun mayus teri bazm-e-inayat se utha
tere ikram ne kis kis ko guman mein rakkha

koi madhosh na ho saat-e-gul-bosi mein
us ne yun phul ko kanton ki aman mein rakkha

wo samajhta tha ki hain sach ke kharidar bahut
rah gaya mal sabhi us ki dukan mein rakkha

yaad hum aa na sake jashn-e-bahaaran mein use
ham-safar jis ne hamein ahd-e-khizan mein rakkha

ek parinda bhi nahin ped pe baqi 'gulzar'
tir sayyaad ne kis waqt kaman mein rakkha
