tum apni yaadon ki kahkashan se saja hua aasman ban kar
mere tasawwur pe chha bhi jao mohabbaton ka jahan ban kar

ghataen baadal ye chand tare hasin qudrat ke sab nazare
chaman mein titli gagan mein panchhi ude hain fitrat ki shan ban kar

agarche tufan sar uthae zamana yun hi hamein satae
hamari jurat rahe salamat khade hain hum to chatan ban kar

hamin ne sincha hai is chaman ko hamin se urdu ka bankpan hai
hamare khun-e-jigar ki khushbu mahak rahi hai zaban ban kar

faza mein naghme mohabbaton ke zamin pe charche sadaqaton ke
karenge mahaul aisa barpa hum amn ke tarjuman ban kar

yazidi bai'at ka zikr chhodo husaini fitrat se nata jodo
tumhin rahoge hamesha zinda jahan mein haq ka nishan ban kar

ajab zamana tha wo zamana ajab hai un ka hasin fasana
wo jin ke chehron se nur barse rahen jo sab ki aman ban kar

hai man ke aanchal ki thandi chhanw to kyon na apni thakan mitaun
wo meri hasti ke garm sahra pe rahti hai saeban ban kar

'shajia' ulfat ke git gao rah-e-talab mein ye jaan lutao
rahoge zinda hikayaton mein wafa ki tum dastan ban kar
