ek akhgar-e-jamal farozan ba-shakl-e-dil
phenka idhar bhi husn-e-tajalli-nisar ne

afsurdagi bhi husn hai tabindagi bhi husn
hum ko khizan ne tum ko sanwara bahaar ne

is dil ko shauq-e-did mein tadpa ke kar diya
kya ustuwar wada-e-na-ustawar ne

jalwe ki bhik de ke wo hatne lage the khud
daman pakad liya nigah-e-e'tibar ne

gesu ghubar-e-rah-e-tamanna se at na jaen
sahra mein aap nikle hain hum ko pukarne
