jo sun kar lagi zer-e-lab muskurane
ye kya kah diya tha kali se saba ne

mere sher anmol lal-o-gohar hain
lutae tere gham ne kya kya khazane

shafaq khil uthi champai aarizon par
nikhaara tere rang-e-rukh ko haya ne

raha hai wahi dil ka ehsas-e-ulfat
badalte rahe lakh karwat zamane

mohabbat ka un ko yaqin aa chala hai
haqiqat bane ja rahe hain fasane

jhijhak kar kisi ne churain jo nazren
charagh-e-tamanna laga jhilmilane

kabhi ye bhi socha hai ai hansne walo
agar pad gae tum ko aansu bahane

wo tufan baad-e-mukhalif kahan hai
jo uttha tha ai 'naqsh' mujh ko mitane
