dars deta hai shakebai ka
wo tera zoam masihai ka

tair-e-did tamashai ka
mo'tarif hai teri girai ka

hai yahi sharh-e-hadis-e-adam
zindagi nam hai ruswai ka

naqs-e-parwaz-e-nazar hai warna
aaina hun teri yaktai ka

ban gaya rah-numa-e-manzil
wo bhatakna tere saudai ka

teri mahfil ki faza-e-rangin
naqsh jaise koi chughtai ka

ban gaya soz-e-mohabbat 'farhat'
ek harif aatish-e-minai ka
