dasht mein ye jaan-fazan manzar kahan se aa gae
is bayaban mein chamakte ghar kahan se aa gae

qarya-e-jaan mein jhulasti dhup thi chaaron taraf
saya le kar abr ke lashkar kahan se aa gae

wadi-e-takhil to be-rang thi ek umar se
gum-shuda yaadon ke ye paikar kahan se aa gae

dhah chuki thin jab tamannaen sabhi khandaraat mein
shahr-e-dil mein phir ye baam-o-dar kahan se aa gae

kis ne bakhshi hai inhen phir se udanon ki sakat
hauslon ko phir se baal-o-par kahan se aa gae

kal talak chhaya hua tha matam-e-be-chehragi
aaj nezon par achanak sar kahan se aa gae

dushmanon mein the to hum par phul ki barish hui
doston mein hain to ye patthar kahan se aa gae

kha gaya tha jab samundar sipiyan sari 'khumar'
phir tumhaare hath ye gauhar kahan se aa gae
