nahin katta hai ye maidan-e-bala
wadi-e-khizr bayaban-e-bala

mustaid zulf meri ranj pe hai
hai muhayya sar-o-saman-e-bala

mar gaya gesu-e-pur-pech mein dil
chhut gaya qaidi-e-zindan-e-bala

haar phulon ki hain choti mein ayan
kya hi phula hai gulistan-e-bala

bole bikhra ke wo zulfen apni
hum hue silsila-jumban-e-bala

unchi choti hai ghazab ai yam-e-husn
kya hi uttha hai ye tufan-e-bala

kan ki lau teri zulfon mein nahin
hai charagh-e-tah-e-daman-e-bala

garmi-e-rukh se araq-rez hai zulf
hai guhar-bar ye naisan-e-bala

dil mere sine mein hai mahw-e-mizha
hai yahi sher-e-niyastan-e-bala
