kahan taqat ye rusi ko kahan himmat ye german ko
ki dekhe chashm-e-kaj se bhi meri shakh-e-nasheman ko

wafa-dushman ye aalam ab to hai teri nawazish se
ki rahm aane laga meri zabun-haali pe dushman ko

na ab sayyaad ka khatka na ab gulchin ka andesha
karam ne baghban ke phunk dala mere gulshan ko

bhala in bijliyon ki shoala-samani ko kya kahiye
jinhon ne tukde tukde kar diya ho dasht-e-aiman ko

uthae hain ye fitne nargas-e-ghammaz ne warna
na but se shaikh ko zid hai na kabe se barahman ko

lagawat ka ye fan baad-e-sahar ne mujh se sikha hai
gulon ko gudgudaya aur na lipte khar daman ko
