anwar-e-nau-ba-nau se mamur ho ke uttha
dil un ki anjuman se pur-nur ho ke utha

husn-e-talab ki zau se khud ban gaya tajalli
aiman ki wadiyon se dil tur ho ke uttha

girdab-e-mustaqil hun main sath-e-bahr-e-gham par
mauj-e-fana ki zad se majbur ho ke uttha

har ek sang-e-dar hai meri jabin ka talib
main un ke aastan se mansur ho ke uttha

rah-e-talab mein aksar aise maqam aae
har naqsh-e-pa-e-manzil pur-nur ho ke uttha

mujh se na puchh saqi dekh apni be-rukhi ko
main teri anjuman se majbur ho ke uttha

anjam-e-gulsitan par 'mahir' main hans raha hun
jo gul khila chaman mein be-nur ho ke uttha
