kuchh ajab shai hai sitamgar se shanasai bhi
shikwa-e-jor bhi hai jabr-e-pazirai bhi

khun-fishan mohar-ba-lab chaak-jigar hai har gul
kuchh ajab rang se aai jo bahaar aai bhi

muzhda-e-subh-e-bahaaran ho mubarak tum ko
kash tum hote sharik-e-shab-e-tanhai bhi

hai tamasha-gah-e-fitrat ka ye turfa andaz
khud tamasha nazar aata hai tamashai bhi

wa na ho jaen kahin shiddat-e-ehsas se lab
chhin lo mujh se meri quwwat-e-goyai bhi
