muddat hui hai madh-e-hasinan kiye hue
nur-e-sukhan se dil ko charaghan kiye hue

arsa hua hai wasf-e-bahaar-e-jamal se
ru-e-waraq ko rashk-e-gulistan kiye hue

barson hue hain tazkira-e-soz-e-ishq se
bazm-e-sukhanwari ko darakhshan kiye hue

aata hai kis shikoh se wo rashk-e-aftab
zulmat-kade dilon ke charaghan kiye hue

jata hun ku-e-yar ko dekh ai ghata mujhe
barpa hujum-e-ashk se tufan kiye hue

baithe hain hum tasawwur-e-gesu-e-yar mein
is zindagi ko khwab-e-pareshan kiye hue

khun kar ke le chala hun dil-o-jaan ko apne sath
didar-e-ru-e-yar ka saman kiye hue

mar mitiye is ada pe ki kuchh log jal-bujhe
sine mein soz-e-ishq ko pinhan kiye hue

wo nau-bahaar-e-husn bhi is rah se gaya
har naqsh-e-pa ko rauza-e-rizwan kiye hue
