tu jo badla to zamana bhi badal jaega
ghar jo sulga to bhara shahr bhi jal jaega

samne aa ki mera ishq hai mantiq mein asir
aag bhadki to ye patthar bhi pighal jaega

dil ko main muntazir-e-abr-e-karam kyun rakkhun
phul hai qatra-e-shabnam se bahal jaega

mausam-e-gul agar is haal mein aaya bhi to kya
khun-e-gul chehra-e-gulzar pe mal jaega

waqt ke panw ki zanjir hai raftar-e-'nadim'
hum jo thahre to ufuq dur nikal jaega
