aks-e-ummid ko hum sham-e-farozan samjhe
gardish-o-barq-o-sharar raqs-e-bahaaran samjhe

us ki qismat mein kahan husn-e-bahaaran dekhe
ghar ko sahra jo gulistan ko bayaban samjhe

aas ki ek kiran bhi nahin ta-hadd-e-nazar
ye wahi hai jise hum subh-e-bahaaran samjhe

hum saf-e-guncha-o-gul mauj-e-mah-o-anjum ko
halqa-e-mah-washan bazm-e-nigaran samjhe

ku-e-pindar mein ye barish-e-sang-e-dushnam
bazla-sanji sahi hum shewa-e-yaran samjhe

lamha-e-zist izafi tha kabhi aaya khayal
sarwat-e-dil jise sarmaya-e-arman samjhe

apne sine mein liye sail-e-hawadis tha 'zubair'
jis ko arbab-e-nazar abr-e-bahaaran samjhe
