tamam shahr tha jangal sa int patthar ka
ghazab wo dekh ke aaya hun baad-e-sarsar ka

sadaen chashme ubalne ki aa rahi hain mujhe
kisi ne tod diya kya sukut patthar ka

mila hai khak-nashini se ye maqam mujhe
zamin hai takht falak taj hai mere sar ka

mujhe to koi bhi mausam uda nahin sakta
ki main to rang hun us ke adhure manzar ka

rawan kiya hai mujhe kin bulandiyon ki taraf
ki aasman bhi lagta hai saya shah-par ka

main apna ghar to jala ke safar pe nikla tha
khayal dasht mein aaya faqat tere dar ka

sunai deti nahin hai ab apni aahat bhi
rawan hua hai har ek samt shor andar ka

jab aaftab sa mujh par hua tha raushan tu
mujhe hai yaad wo yakh-basta din december ka

hawa-e-lams mein ek aag bhi thi poshida
ki tabnak hua jism sang-e-marmar ka

zahe-nasib mohammad ka nam-lewa hun
hai lakh shukr khuda-e-buzurg-o-bartar ka
