mausam-e-gul aa gaya phir dasht-paimai rahe
ai junun lazim hai shaghl-e-abla-pai rahe

lakh mizrab-e-alam ki kar-farmai rahe
ai rabab-e-isq phir bhi naghma-pairai rahe

dekhna hai soz-o-saz-e-mausam-e-gul ki bahaar
imtizaj-e-shoala-o-shabnam ki ranai rahe

aa saka lab tak kisi ke bhi na harf-e-muddaa
hum tamannai rahe wo bhi tamannai rahe

hum bhi dikhlaen jahan ko dil ke daghon ki bahaar
aap ki hasil agar hum ko masihai rahe

justuju-e-yar mein paya na koi dam qarar
nikhat-e-gul ki tarah aalam mein harjai rahe

raunaq-e-dair-o-haram ka 'qadri' kya puchhna
raushni ek shama ki do ghar mein jab chhai rahe
