bhulon unhen kaise kaise kaise
wo lamhe jo tere sath guzre

hai rah-numa jibillat un ki
be-his nahin mausami parinde

ai danish-war mafar nahin hai
iqrar-e-wajud-e-kibriya se

jaana koi karsaz bhi hai
tute ban ban ke jab irade

mehrab umud burj qausen
ras mein dube bhare bhare se

bahr-e-kafur mein talatum
bhonra baitha kanwal ko chuse

chaak-e-ufqi harim-e-zohra
rah rah ke madan tarang jhalke

jhilmil jhilmil badan ka sona
lahraen laten kamar se niche

kya chand si suraten banain
qurban ai nili chhatri wale
