gale mila na kabhi chand bakht aisa tha
hara-bhara badan apna darakht aisa tha

sitare siskiyan bharte the os roti thi
fasana-e-jigar-e-lakht-lakht aisa tha

zara na mom hua pyar ki hararat se
chatakh ke tut gaya dil ka sakht aisa tha

ye aur baat ki wo lab the phul se nazuk
koi na sah sake lahja karakht aisa tha

kahan ki sair na ki tosan-e-takhayyul par
hamein to ye bhi suleman ke takht aisa tha

idhar se guzra tha mulk-e-sukhan ka shahzada
koi na jaan saka saz-o-rakht aisa tha
