dhundla diya zist ka tasawwur
apni aankhon hi ki nami ne

haiwan-sifat hua hai aakhir
dikhlaya kamal aadmi ne

ki dosti bhi to dushmani se
jaana na unhen magar hamin ne

gadhe ki to khaal khinch dali
raat un ke jamal-e-reshmin ne

shoalon se bujhai pyas ji ki
yaron ke mizaj-e-balghamin ne

ye zohra ye mushtari ye mahtab
kya kya na milin nai zaminen

mit kar bhi ghubar-e-kahkashan hain
chamka diya kis ki hamdami ne

jo gul sar-e-arsh bhi na khilte
wo gul bhi khila diye zamin ne

shayad ki talab kiya 'nazar' ko
kabe mein rasul-e-hashmi ne
