dil-e-girafta ke sab pech-o-tab khol ke dekh
hawa ka zor muhit-e-hubab khol ke dekh

mere lahu ko numaish-gah-e-wafa se utha
hai jama o kharch bahut ye hisab khol ke dekh

ye kis ke zulm se har shai hai misl-e-sang khamosh
ai naqsh-gar dar-e-shahr-e-kharab khol ke dekh

kahin to dasht mein thahregi mauj-e-ab-e-gurez
rawan hua hai to raaz-e-sarab khol ke dekh

dhadakte dil se na maujon ki razm-gah mein utar
khat-e-safar ko kaf-e-dast-e-ab khol ke dekh

hain kab se tishna-e-mani mere huruf-e-badan
faragh ho to kabhi ye kitab khol ke dekh

zara suragh laga mere rang-e-khasta ka
ghamon ki dhup mein band-e-naqab khol ke dekh

gulon ko kis liye dasti hain chandni raaten
kahan hai zahr rag-e-mahtab khol ke dekh

maza to jab hai ki gulshan mein jashn-e-shoala ho
bhari bahaar mein dagh-e-gulab khol ke dekh

kanar-e-dasht-e-bala kaun hai makin 'shahin'
khamosh suni haweli ka bab khol ke dekh
