maal-e-naghma-o-matam farokht hota hai
khushi ke sath yahan gham farokht hota hai

wo jis ko aaj bhi kuchh log husn kahte hain
ba-sad-nigarish-e-paiham farokht hota hai

fareb-khurda tabassum kharidne ke liye
waqar-e-dida-e-pur-nam farokht hota hai

bade hasin ghanere siyah pardon mein
jamal-e-ismat-e-maryam farokht hota hai

bahaar-e-wadi-e-gang-o-jaman ke sath yahan
waqar-e-kausar-o-zamzam farokht hota hai

wo jism-e-marmarin nazren bhi jis ko chhu na sakin
barae-raunaq-e-alam farokht hota hai

tilism-khana-e-sad-rang-o-bu mein ai 'saghar'
fareb-e-shola-o-shabnam farokht hota hai
