kuchh is ada se nasim-e-bahaar jhum ke chal
ki phut nikle dil-e-na-murad ki konpal

hasin chaman mein badal jae regzar-e-hayat
sarab-e-yas se paida hon farhaton ke kanwal

kai baras se hai be-ab aabshaar-e-talab
kabhi to mahw-e-karam ho umid ke baadal

na raushni na tarane na raqs-e-mauj-e-shamim
hanuz chashm-e-sahar mein hai raat ka kajal

bahaar mein bhi hai phulon ko intizar-e-bahaar
khuda-e-bagh ye tartib-e-bagh kuchh to badal

na chhup sakega gham-e-zindagi ka rukh 'azhar'
na dal us pe fareb-e-khayal ka aanchal
