ashk-e-gham shorish-e-pinhan ki khabar dete hain
ye wo qatre hain jo tufan ki khabar dete hain

qalb-e-sozan mein shab-o-roz machalte jazbaat
garmi-e-shauq-e-farawan ki khabar dete hain

in sisakte hue ghunchon ko hiqarat se na dekh
ye tujhe nazm-e-gulistan ki khabar dete hain

tere mai-khane ke dam todte aaen saqi
kisi taghir-e-numayan ki khabar dete hain

wo ufuq par jo ujale se nazar aate hain
aamad-e-subh-e-darakhshan ki khabar dete hain

sehn-e-gulshan mein ba-har-an badalte hue rang
ek nae daur-e-bahaaran ki khabar dete hain

haq to ye hai ki khalaon ke safar ai 'mansha'
azmat-e-rutba-e-insan ki khabar dete hain
