qudrat-e-haq hai sabahat se tamasha hai wo rukh
khal-e-mushkin dil-e-firaun yad-e-baiza hai wo rukh

nur jo us mein hai khurshid mein wo nur kahan
ye agar husn ka chashma hai to dariya hai wo rukh

phute wo aankh jo dekhe nigah-e-bad se use
aaine se dil-e-arif ke musaffa hai wo rukh

bazm-e-alam hai tawajjoh se usi ke aabaad
shahr viran hai agar jaanib-e-sahra hai wo rukh

samri chashm-e-fusun-gar ki fusun-sazi se
lab-e-jaan-bakhsh ke hone se masiha hai wo rukh

dam-e-nazzara lade marte hain aashiq us par
daulat-e-husn ke pesh aane se duniya hai wo rukh

saya karte hain huma ud ke paron se apne
tere rukhsar se dilchasp ho anqa hai wo rukh

gul ghalat lala ghalat mahr ghalat mah ghalat
koi sani nahin la-sani hai yakta hai wo rukh

kaun sa us mein takalluf nahin pate har-chand
na murassa na mozahhab na mutalla hai wo rukh

khal-e-hindu hain parastish ke liye aae hain
putliyan aankhon ki do but hain kalisa hai wo rukh

kaun sa dil hai jo diwana nahin hai us ka
khat-e-shab-rang se sarmaya-e-sauda hai wo rukh

us ke didar ki kyun-kar na hon aankhen mushtaq
dil-ruba shai hai ajab surat-e-zeba hai wo rukh

ta-kuja sharh karun husn ke us ke 'atish'
mahr hai mah hai jo kuchh hai tamasha hai wo rukh
