tabinda husn-e-raaz-e-bahaaran hamin se hai
nazm-e-khizan jo hai to hirasan hamin se hai

apne lahu ka rang mila hai bahaar mein
lala misal-e-shola-e-raqsan hamin se hai

jalta hai apna khun hi sar-e-bazm raat-bhar
ai husn-e-be-khabar ye charaghan hamin se hai

hum aaj shahr-e-yar ke matub hain to kya
har-dam wo apne shahr mein tarsan hamin se hai

rakkhi hai hum ne apni zaban par wafa ki tegh
nam-e-niku-e-yar pur-afshan hamin se hai

har-rang mein rahe hamin sar-chashma-e-hayat
hai kaenat hum se to yazdan hamin se hai

marhun-e-shuq baada-gusaran hai daur-e-jam
mina huzur-e-yar ghazal-khwan hamin se hai

shohra tera gaya mere naghmon ke sath sath
aalam ko teri did ka arman hamin se hai

aankhon mein 'arsh' dard ne bhadkae hain kanwal
aab-e-rawan mein aatish-e-sozan hamin se hai
