husn-e-farogh-e-shab hai zakhm-e-jigar hamara
har-chand muntazir hai baam-e-sahar hamara

ahbab ko mubarak ye shauq tirgi ka
hai zauq raushni ka zad-e-safar hamara

kyun bais-e-alam hon ye khun-chakan jabinen
tha ibtida se dushman wo sang-e-dar hamara

karte jo hum kinara us danish-o-hunar se
ishrat-garon mein hota shayad guzar hamara

parwarda-e-hawas jo husn-e-yaqin bhi hota
ye karbala-e-dauran hota na ghar hamara

kya kya hai naz hum ko is bakht-e-na-rasa par
sidq-o-safa se rishta hai mo'atabar hamara

dekhen 'sarosh' wo bhi is manzar-e-hasin ko
jalwon ki aabru hai zakhm-e-jigar hamara
