mera junun sharmsar dekhiye kab tak rahe
fasl-e-khizan par bahaar dekhiye kab tak rahe

dekhiye kab tak bahe dida-o-dil se lahu
sehn-e-chaman lala-zar dekhiye kab tak rahe

dekhiye kab tak rahe kaj-kulah-e-shahryar
ye rawish-e-tajdar dekhiye kab tak rahe

aaj bhi hai kohkan banda-e-be-dam-e-zar
ishq gharib-ud-dayar dekhiye kab tak rahe

aur farozan hua shoala-e-qindil-e-shab
gul ka magar e'tibar dekhiye kab tak rahe

dast-e-saba kat na jae lauh-o-qalam chhin na jaen
azmat-e-fan ba-waqar dekhiye kab tak rahe

khamushi-o-maslahat be-dili-o-be-hisi
ahl-e-sukhan ka shiar dekhiye kab tak rahe
