gham mein ahd-e-shabab jata hai
aasman khak mein milata hai

kaun gul bahr-e-sair aata hai
bagh phula nahin samata hai

arsh par bhi ghubar jata hai
dil jo wahshat mein khak udata hai

jaan deta hai sabza-e-khat par
khizr har roz zahr khata hai

tegh-e-qatil jo ho gai be-ab
zakhm pani magar churaata hai

zinde marte hain murde jite hain
jab wo rashk-e-masih gata hai

sahar-e-sham-e-wasl hai shab-gor
maut aati hai yar jata hai

achchhi padti hai jab koi talwar
dahan-e-zakhm muskuraata hai

khun-e-ushshaq ka utha bida
be-sabab kab wo pan khata hai

jigar-e-sang ho jahan pani
wo wahan mujh ko aazmata hai

tu jo gul hai to main bhi shabnam hun
mujhe hansna tera rulata hai

khush ye marne se hun mera lasha
gor mein bhi nahin samata hai

lala-e-koh se hua sabit
khun-e-fariyaad josh khata hai

lakh taqlid kijiye ai 'arsh'
par kab andaz-e-'mir' aata hai
