garmiyan shokhiyan kis shan se hum dekhte hain
kya hi nadaniyan nadan se hum dekhte hain

ghair se bosa-zani aur hamein dushnamen
munh liye apna pashiman se hum dekhte hain

fasl-e-gul ab ki junun-khez nahin sad-afsos
dur hath apna gareban se hum dekhte hain

aaj kis shokh ki gulshan mein hina-bandi hai
sarw raqsan hain gulistan se hum dekhte hain

'akhtar'-e-zar bhi ho mushaf-e-rukh par shaida
fal ye nek hai quran se hum dekhte hain
