hasr-afrin hai kucha-e-jaanana aaj-kal
bahki hui hai khu-e-muhibbana aaj-kal

phir bik rahi hai jins-e-wafa kaudiyon ke mol
phir har wafa-shiar hai begana aaj-kal

phir uth rahi hain dasht-o-bayaban ki raunaqen
phir har junun-frosh hai farzana aaj-kal

phir shola-kar hain chamanistan-e-lala-zar
phir bijliyan hain raunaq-e-kashana aaj-kal

phir har junun-sarisht khirad se hai bahra-war
phir kho gaya taqaddus-e-virana aaj-kal

har dil mein jalwa-rez hai phir jazba-e-khudi
anqa hai etibar-e-mulukana aaj-kal

phir mit gae dilon se junun-kar walwale
phir be-nawa hain salma-o-rehana aaj-kal

phir satgin undel ke saqi ne rakh diye
uthti hai har nigah harisana aaj-kal

afsana ban gai wo raqabat wo chashmaken
dast-e-karam hai dast-e-harisana aaj-kal

'mazhar' hadis-e-dard hai apni har ek baat
har ashk-e-gham hai ghairat-e-durdana aaj-kal
