dil mein hai kya jaaniye kis ka khayal-e-naqsh-e-pa
lag gain aankhen zamin se jo misal-e-naqsh-e-pa

taqat uthne ki nahin hai tan mein zoaf-e-ishq se
haal apna in dinon hai hasb-e-haal-e-naqsh-e-pa

safha-e-sahra mein hai khar-e-mughilan jun alif
khub ai majnun teri aai hai fal-e-naqsh-e-pa

yak-qalam ai gul-badan rashk-e-gul-e-qalin hai dekh
farsh-e-khakistar hai tera ye nihaal-e-naqsh-e-pa

dur-fishani se teri rahta hai ham-chashm-e-sadaf
tha yahi ai chashm-e-tar tujh se sawal-e-naqsh-e-pa

tiktiki yan tak bandhi haigi ki khal-e-mardumak
ban gaya is shokh ka har wajh khal-e-naqsh-e-pa

sujhta hai hath se is na-tawani ke 'nasir'
rafta rafta honge ek din paemal-e-naqsh-e-pa
