uruj mera hai jo ki duniya samajh rahi hai zawal mera
khatak raha hai nigah-e-hasid mein khar ban kar kamal mera

katen to kyon kar katen bhala na-murad din zindagi ke aakhir
na kuchh khabar mujh ko aap apni na aap ko kuchh khayal mera

kahin na aansu bahae shabnam kahin na kaliyan hon chaak daman
tujhe qasam raunaq-e-chaman ki saba na kah un se haal mera

main partaw-e-nur-e-lam-yazal hun fana-nawaz-e-azal ka dar kya
kamal-e-sanea ka nuqs hoga agar hua bhi zawal mera

gunahgaron ki awwalin saf se chashm-e-rahmat ne mujh ko chhanta
hazar sajdon se badh ke kaam aaya jazba-e-infial mera

kise khabar hai ki ho ada farz-e-bandagi phir bhi mujh se 'qaisar'
zaban-e-shukr-o-sipas bhi ban gaya agar baal baal mera
