hama-tan jalwa-fishan mah-o-charaghan ki tarah
kaun aaya dil-e-pur-shauq mein mehman ki tarah

gunj uthi gham-kada-e-ruh mein us ki aawaz
khwab mein bahte hue chashma-e-irfan ki tarah

zehn-e-fankar mein manind-e-shuur-e-naghma
safha-e-dil pe hai wo nazm ke unwan ki tarah

zau-fishan mere sanam-khana-e-afkar mein hai
lab-e-masum koi lal-e-badakhshan ki tarah

ahrman ban ke taaqub mein rahi zulmat-e-shab
chhup gaya koi meri ruh mein yazdan ki tarah

barhana-pa-o-sarasima thi tauqir-e-bashar
wo mere sath raha azmat-e-insan ki tarah

mizha aaluda-ba-khun chashm-e-tamanna khun-bar
sina-e-dahr mein hun zakhm-e-numayan ki tarah

ai mere ham-dam-e-dil-gir dua de mujh ko
us ke qadmon pe rahun shakh-e-gul-afshan ki tarah

jal uthi sham-e-tamanna sar-e-mehrab-e-visal
kaun aata hai ye khurshid-e-farozan ki tarah
