tere jalwon ne sikha hai nazar ka pasban ho kar

tere jalwon ne sikha hai nazar ka pasban ho kar
'ayan hona nihan ho kar nihan hona 'ayan ho kar
ta'ajjub hai nasib-e-‘ishq ki ruh-e-rawan ho kar
wo kyon zulmat pe hawi hain nigahon se nihan ho kar


agar sayyaad ne dekha kabhi kuchh mehrban ho kar
tamanna rah gai takti nasib-e-dushmanan ho kar
sitam dhane lagi jab aarzu dil ki jawan ho kar
rahi aathon pahar wahshat mohabbat ki ‘inan ho kar


butan-e-sho'la-ru ki sehr-samani ka kya kahna
khudai kar rahe hain jaan-e-musht-e-ustukhwan ho kar
tasawwur mein liye baithe hain jalwon ki amanat ko
nazar sab ki zamin par aa gai hai aasman ho kar


nazar ka said ho jaana qarin-e-‘aql tha lekin
khabar kya thi ki dil rah jaega nazr-e-butan ho kar
musalsal bewafai par to ek 'alam hai shaidai
nahin un ki na jaane kya ghazab dhaegi han ho kar


bahar-surat mata'-e-'shad' hai nairangi-e-'alam
khizan chhai bahaar ho kar bahaar aai khizan ho kar
