sahab-e-sabz na taus-e-nilmin laya
wo shakhs laut ke ek aur sar-zamin laya

ata usi ki hai ye shahd o shor ki taufiq
wahi galim mein ye nan-e-be-jawin laya

usi ki chap hai ukhde hue khdanje par
wo khisht o khwab ko bairun-e-azmagin laya

wo pesh-e-burrish-e-shamshir bhi gawahi mein
kaf-e-buland mein ek shakh-e-yasmin laya

kitab-e-khak padhi zalzale ki raat us ne
shaguft-e-gul ke zamane mein wo yaqin laya
