dil ki shoala-zai ke aankhon ki tughyani ke din
hain jawani ke hi din dar-asl jaulani ke din

in mein to danaiyan khul kar dikhati hain kamal
kaun kahta hai ki ye hote hain nadani ke din

tha lahu mein tar-ba-tar daman hamara jin dinon
hum na bhulenge kabhi wo khun-afshani ke din

taza taza aaya tha jab karwan-e-fasl-e-gul
yaad hain ab tak hamein wo khana-virani ke din

kaise logon ko bataen mushkilon par mushkilen
kitni paida karte hain ye khwab-samani ke din

hote hote jaan ko ho jata hai hasil qarar
jate jate jate hain 'mansha' pareshani ke din
