ju-e-taza kisi kohsar-e-kuhan se aae
ye hunar yun nahin aata hai jatan se aae

log nazuk the aur ehsas ke virane tak
wo guzarte hue aankhon ki jalan se aae

shahr-e-gul kasa-e-darwesh bana baitha hai
koi shoala kisi jalte hue ban se aae

dard ki mauj-e-subuk-sair mein bah jaunga
chahe wo jaan se chahe wo badan se aae

subh ke sath ajab lazzat-e-daryuza-gari
raat-bhar sochte rahne ki thakan se aae

aise zalim hain mere dost ki sunte hi nahin
jab talak khun ki khushbu na sukhan se aae
