nasim-e-subh pareshan hai dekhiye kya ho
khizan ki zad mein gulistan hai dekhiye kya ho

gulab zard hua lala dagh-dar hua
shagufa khauf se larzan hai dekhiye kya ho

irada wahshat-o-ghaarat-gari hai zalim ka
nishana shahr-e-nigaran hai dekhiye kya ho

wo abr jis ke barasne se phul khilte the
wo aaj shoala-ba-daman hai dekhiye kya ho

lagi hain yaron ki aankhen nae hawadis par
har ek aaina hairan hai dekhiye kya ho

sabhi rafiq-o-shafiq aaj chhute jate hain
badan se ruh gurezan hai dekhiye kya ho

gham-e-hayat se mumkin nahin mafar lekin
najat milne ka imkan hai dekhiye kya ho
