hone ko jashn-e-fasl-e-bahaaran hue to kya
do-chaar phul chaak-gareban hue to kya

jab aabru-e-bazm-e-mah-o-mehr lut chuki
palkon pe kuchh sitare farozan hue to kya

tabir mein mujhe gham-e-insan to mil gaya
kuchh khwab sarf-e-gardish-e-dauran hue to kya

sarshaar-e-kaif zauq-e-numu hai chaman chaman
ahl-e-khizan harif-e-bahaaran hue to kya

tariki-e-shab-e-gham-e-insan na mit saki
ashkon se gam gam charaghan hue to kya

sine ke zakhm zakhm se phuti hain konplen
taraj hasraton ke gulistan hue to kya

jhukne se aabru-e-jabin aur ghat gai
naqsh-e-sujud lakh numayan hue to kiya
