tufan ki zad pe apna safina jab aa gaya
sahil ko mauj mauj ko sahil bana gaya

munh takte takte thak gain hirman-nasibiyan
har inqalab-e-shauq ki himmat badha gaya

zauq-e-nazar ki jurat bebak al-aman
rang-e-hayat ban ke fazaon pe chha gaya

tharra ke sham-e-anjuman-e-aish bujh gai
nairang-e-nur-e-subh-o-manzar dikha gaya

ijz-e-rah-e-niyaz ke qurban jaiye
naqsh-e-qadam ko naqsh-e-tamanna bana gaya

itna karam bhi jabr-e-mohabbat ka kam nahin
ghut ghut ke marne walon ko jina sikha gaya

shoale se kyun lapakte hain gulshan se bar bar
'yaqub' kya bahaar ka mausam phir aa gaya
