lakh parde se rukh-e-anwar ayan ho jaega
parda khul jaega har parda katan ho jaega

jauhar-e-tegh-e-isalat sab ayan ho jaega
imtihan ke waqt apna imtihan ho jaega

tu agar ai mah aa nikla kisi din baad-e-marg
parda-e-khak-e-mazar apna katan ho jaega

pech zulfon ke jo khul jaenge ru-e-yar par
sumbul-e-tar aatish-e-gul ka dhuan ho jaega

tu wo gul-ru hai ki tujh ko dekh kar niklegi jaan
bulbul-e-ruh o rawan be-ashiyan ho jaega

ru-e-rangin ki hikayat nazm agar karne lagen
'barq' sab diwan hamara bostan ho jaega
