qadam-e-khush-badanan shoabda-gar hai ki nahin
ye zamin-lala-rukh-o-kisht-e-guhar hai ki nahin

dekhiye rang-e-hina ru-e-shafaq josh-e-bahaar
tair-e-khwab to hai tab-e-safar hai ki nahin

be-sabab main nahin tasir-e-nazar ka qail
zakhm ghuncha-sifat-o-shakh-e-samar hai ki nahin

teri aawaz kalid-e-chamanastin hai magar
sina-e-nai mein gudaz-e-gul-e-tar hai ki nahin

dekhne jaun qad-o-ariz-o-gesu-e-sanam
sochta hun ki koi rah-o-mafar hai ki nahin

sar patakti hui ek mauj ne dariya se kaha
aab-e-asuda-e-dariya mera ghar hai ki nahin

zor-e-amwaj-e-talatum se hai dariya dariya
harf-e-be-sud ki dariya mein guhar hai ki nahin
