khush-bakhtiyon ke dil-nashin aasab tum to ho
husn-e-karam ke paikar-e-zartab tum to ho

phaili hui hain fikr ki kirnon ki shokhiyan
charkh-e-jamal-o-husn ke mahtab tum to ho

sochon ke ratjagon pe hai ghaza bahaar ka
ranaiyon ki wadi-e-shadab tum to ho

saz-o-surod-e-ishq ke bajte hain tar tar
tanhaiyon mein dard ki mizrab tum to ho

taza hain teri yaad se sanson ke silsile
in silsilon ki mauj-e-samar-yab tum to ho

har talkhi-e-hayat ka zahrab pi gae
jis par jiye halawat-e-nayab tum to ho

ruswaiyon ke des mein bikte rahe zamir
namus-e-qaum khitta-e-punjab tum to ho

pighla saki na ibrat-o-ghairat ki aanch kuchh
uf munjamid se surat-e-barfab tum to ho

barbat ko tham dil ko pakad kar sukun se baith
mahfil mein 'ain' waqif-e-adab tum to ho
