khule hain mashriq-o-maghrib ki god mein gulzar
magar khizan ko mayassar nahin yaqin-e-bahaar

khabar nahin hai bamon ke banane walon ko
tamiz ho to mah-o-mehr-o-kahkashan hain shikar

usi se tegh-e-nigah aab-dar hoti hai
tujhe bataun badi shai hai jurat-e-inkar

kiye hain shauq ne paida hazar virane
ek aarzu ne basae hain lakh shahr-e-dayar

nashat-e-subh-e-bahaaran tujhe nasib nahin
tere nigah mein hai biti hui shabon ka khumar

farokht hoti hai insaniyat si jins-e-giran
jahan ko phunk na degi ye garmi-e-bazar

yahi hai zinat-o-araish urus-e-sukhan
magar fareb bhi deti hai shokhi-e-guftar
