kya raushni-e-husn-e-sabih anjuman mein hai
fanus mein hai shama ki tan pairahan mein hai

bhadkati hai junun ko gul-o-lala ki bahaar
ek aag si lagi hui sare chaman mein hai

purze samajh ke jama-e-tan ke uda junun
wo jama-zeb bhi to usi pairahan mein hai

sukhe shajar hare jo hue phir to kya hua
nasur-e-nau hamare bhi zakhm-e-kuhan mein hai

bazm-e-khayal-e-yar mein ghairon ka kya guzar
khalwat jo chahiye wo usi anjuman mein hai

taqdir-e-reg-e-shisha-e-saat mili mujhe
kulfat safar ki raat din apne watan mein hai

bulbul ki khush-nawai ka bais hai ishq-e-gul
dil mein jo dard hai to maza bhi sukhan mein hai

rang-e-khizan bhi jis ka hai rashk-e-bahaar-e-abr
wo kisht zafaran ki hamare watan mein hai
