fasl-e-gul mein bhi tahi kyon na ho daman apna
baghban apna faza apni na gulshan apna

jurm-e-na-shukr-guzari ki saza kuchh to mile
apne hathon se lutaya tha nasheman apna

barq-bari hi sahi jashn-e-charaghan na sahi
ek lamhe ke liye ghar to ho raushan apna

ab to aawaz-e-tanaffus pe ye hota hai guman
jaise main marsiyan-khwan hun sarmad-e-fan apna

karun kis dil se bahaaron ki tamanna 'athar'
main to phulon se jala baitha hun daman apna
