faza-e-sehn-e-gulstan hai sogwar abhi
khizan ki qaid mein hai yusuf-e-bahaar abhi

abhi chaman pe chaman ka guman nahin hota
qaba-e-ghuncha ko hona hai tar tar abhi

abhi hai khanda-e-gul bhi agar to zer-e-labi
ruka ruka sa hai kuchh naghma-e-hazar abhi

chaman to khair chaman hai nawa-garon ko nahin
khud apni shakh-e-nasheman pe ikhtiyar abhi

abhi umid ki sarson kahin na phuli
basant ka hai zamane ko intizar abhi

tahi-subui kisi ki ye kah rahi hai 'sharif'
nizam-e-mai-kada badlega ek bar abhi
