nizam-e-fikr ne badla hi tha sawal ka rang
jhalak utha kai chehron se infial ka rang

na gul-kadon ko mayassar na chand-taron ko
tere visal ki khushbu tere jamal ka rang

zara si der ko chehre damak to jate hain
khushi ka rang ho ya ho gham-o-malal ka rang

zamana apni kahani suna raha tha hamein
ubhar gaya magar aaghaz mein maal ka rang

asir-e-waqt hai to main hun waqt se aazad
tere uruj se achchha mere zawal ka rang

ba-san-e-takhta-e-gul meri fikr hai aazad
misal-e-qaus-e-quzah hai mere khayal ka rang
