nazar jin ki ulajh jati hai un ki zulf-e-pechan se
wahi badh kar lipat jate hain aksar mauj-e-tufan se

agar sharma raha hai mehr-e-taban husn-e-jaanan se
shafaq bhi to khajil hai surkhi-e-khun-e-shahidan se

mere josh-e-junun ko chhedta hai kis liye hamdam
uthengi aandhiyan lakhon ishaare hain bayaban se

dubo kar dekh kashti-e-tamanna bahr-e-hasti mein
ubhar aaega khud sahil kisi nau-khez tufan se

mujhe marna mubarak bas tamanna hai to itni hai
bujha den wo charagh-e-zindagi khud apne daman se

sambhal kar rahrawan-e-rah-e-ulfat sakht manzil hai
sadaen aa rahi hain aaj tak gor-e-ghariban se

hujum-e-yas hi 'iqbaal' tamhid-e-masarrat hai
khushi ka bab khulta to hai lekin gham ke unwan se
