poshak-e-siyah mein rukh-e-jaanan nazar aaya
shab ko hamein khurshid darakhshan nazar aaya

dekha na kahin kufr na iman nazar aaya
hindu koi paya na musalman nazar aaya

malbus-e-siyah mein rukh-e-jaanan nazar aaya
zulmat mein yan chashma-e-haiwan nazar aaya

baalon mein chhupa chehra-e-jaanan nazar aaya
parda mein yahan kufr ke iman nazar aaya

phir josh-e-junun silsila-e-jumba nazar aaya
phir be-sar-o-samani ka saman nazar aaya

pariyan jise kandhe pe uthati thin hamesha
barbaad wo aurang-e-sulaiman nazar aaya

bain-hama wusat bhi hai kya khwan-e-falak-tang
aasuda na us ka koi mehman nazar aaya

aankhon ke tale phir gaya wo aahu-e-shahri
jangal mein jo aahu-e-bayaban nazar aaya

majma mein raqibon ke khula tha tera joda
kal raat ajab khwab-e-pareshan nazar aaya

jis dasht mein phute hain mere aabla-pa
koson wahi sarsabz-e-nistan nazar aaya

ta-sal-e-digar mai ki khurd zinda ki mand
mah-e-ramzan saqi-e-dauran nazar aaya

diwana hun par kaam mein hoshiyar hun apne
yusuf ka khayal aaya jo zindan nazar aaya

shokh-e-mizha-e-bargashta ki dekhi nigah-e-qahr
aahu bhi mujhe sher-e-niystan nazar aaya

mayus phiri aati hain kyun meri duaen
kya bab-e-ijabat pe bhi darban nazar aaya

main zar-e-mah-e-nau hun ki us ne mujhe ai 'mehr'
jab ghaur se dekha to kaha han nazar aaya
