bahut latif hai ye mukhtasar jahan apna
jigar-nawaz bhi tu tu hi raazdan apna

tamam daulat-e-hasti luta ke mangunga
bahaar-e-husn teri zauq-e-jawedan apna

baham hue hain shanasa-e-yak-digar donon
nigah-e-naz teri qalb-e-khun-chakan apna

shafaq mein sina-e-gul mein junun ki wadi mein
bata hai khun-e-jigar bhi kahan kahan apna

ye aarzi hi sahi aab-o-rang-e-husn magar
luta rahi hai khirad in pe karwan apna

jabin-nawaz hai jalwon ki ye farawani
kahan hai aaj sar-e-nang-e-astan apna

nawazishat-e-guzishta ki ab khayali hain
bana raha hun unhin se main gulistan apna

ajib zauq-faza justuju ki lazzat hai
bhatakne do bhi zara der karwan apna

hazar kuchh na sahi musht-e-khak-e-insan mein
uruj-e-arsh pe hai phir bhi aastan apna

na sud hi na ziyan hi na ranj-o-rahat hai
hai aql-o-hosh ke parde mein imtihan apna

hain aashna-e-hawadis to khauf-e-barq hi kya
dikha dikha ke banate hain aashiyan apna
