baithe hain jahan saqi paimana-e-zar le kar
us bazm se uth aae hum dida-e-tar le kar

yaadon se teri raushan mehrab-e-shab-e-hijran
dhundhenge tujhe kab tak qindil-e-qamar le kar

kya husn hai duniya mein kya lutf hai jine mein
dekhe to koi mera andaz-e-nazar le kar

hoti hai zamane mein kis tarah pazirai
niklo to zara ghar se ek zauq-e-safar le kar

rahen chamak utthengi khurshid ki mashal se
hamrah saba hogi khushbu-e-sahar le kar

makhmal si bichha denge qadmon ke tale sahil
dariya ubal aaenge sad-mauj-e-guhar le kar

pahnaenge taj apna pedon ke ghane sae
niklenge shajar apne khush-rang samar le kar

lapkenge gale milne sarw aur sanobar sab
uthenge gulistan bhi shakh-e-gul-e-tar le kar

hanste hue shahron ki aawaz bulaegi
lab jam ke chamkenge sau shoala-e-tar le kar

aflak bajaenge saz apne sitaron ka
gaenge bahut lamhe anfas-e-sharar le kar

ye aalam-e-khaki ek sayyara-e-raushan hai
aflak se takra do taqdir-e-bashar le kar
