kar gaya gosha-nashinon pe ye ehsan koi
de gaya mashghala-e-chaak-gareban koi

hai yahi shauq ki pasti-o-bulandi ka mizaj
farsh ki gard koi arsh ka mehman koi

zoaf-o-himmat ke karishme hain che mumkin che muhaal
kaam mushkil hai koi aur na aasan koi

aaj wo din hai ki raushan hai shabistan-e-khayal
rok de badh ke zara gardish-e-dauran koi

zulf-o-kakul ka fasana ho kisi tarah daraaz
is kham-o-pech mein hai silsila-jumban koi

aur bhi zakhm hain ai chaak-e-gareban-e-junun
tu hanse ya na hanse hoga numayan koi

aise sahra mein jahan nakhl ka saya bhi na tha
badh gaya chhod ke tanha hamein 'ehsan' koi
