gulshan-e-lala-zar kya mausam-e-khush-gawar kya
jis ki bahaar aap hain us ke liye bahaar kya

ruk to nahin gai kahin gardish-e-rozgar kya
tujh ko sukun se wasta ai dil-e-be-qarar kya

sina-e-dagh-dar dekh dida-e-ashk-bar dekh
dil ki mere bahaar dekh shoabada-e-bahaar kya

rah nai banae ja tez qadam uthae ja
shauq-e-talab badhae ja fikr-e-maal-e-kar kya

khauf hai phir na kuchh khatar ishq agar hai rahbar
ho ke qarib-tar guzar fitna-e-rozgar kya

ahl-e-chaman hi jab hamein bhul gae to ham-nashin
sahn-e-chaman ki yaad kyon tazkira-e-bahaar kya

shauq-o-talab ki rah mein manzil-e-ashk-o-ah mein
la na saki unhen to phir gardish-e-rozgar kya

qismat-e-gham badal gai dil ke nasib jag uthe
afsun ab un se kijiye shikwa-e-intizar kya
