har tarah ka do-jahan mein saz hai saman hai
lafz-e-kun se irtiqa ka aur bhi imkan hai

zat ke irfan se hasil rumuz-e-kaenat
zat se shair ke hasil husn ka wijdan hai

ek tamasha mah-o-gul ka aasman se ta-zamin
aadmi sad-rang jalwa dekh kar hairan hai

sharm se rukhsar-e-gul kuchh aur gulgun ho gaya
is asar par aaine ki aankh bhi hairan hai

aap ki jamhuriyat mein sab to hain shair nahin
shaeri har qaum ki tahzib ki pahchan hai

husn ko dena 'payami' shaeri ka pairahan
farsh se ta-arsh mauj-e-rang ka tufan hai
