tarikiyon ke baad numud-e-sahar bhi ho
ek subh-e-ba-jamal khudaya idhar bhi ho

hon chaar-su bahaaron ke mausam saje hue
girwida koi phulon ki chashm-e-bashar bhi ho

ghunchon ki bud-o-bash se rahta ho ba-khabar
duzdida-e-nazar bhi ho aur dida-war bhi ho

jo rok de khizan ke thapede chaman se dur
saya-fagan gulon pe ghanera shajar bhi ho

bahte samundaron ki satah par na jae wo
dekhe jo zer-e-ab bhi chahe bhanwar bhi ho

hain zer-e-ab sare khazine chhupe hue
dekhe jo zer-e-khak kuchh aisi nazar bhi ho

wo tez-o-tund dhaaron mein bahne ke bawajud
is bahr-e-be-karan ki wo rakhta khabar bhi ho

sipi se moti chun ke dikhae 'ada' koi
jauhar-shanas ho koi ahl-e-hunar bhi ho
