wadi-e-shauq mein jo shoala-ba-daman nikla
waqif-e-rasm-o-rah-e-kucha-e-jaanan nikla

fikr-e-farda gham-e-doshina se aazad hua
khush-nasib apna dil-e-sokhta-saman nikla

tujh se ummid ho kya dasht-nawardon ko bahaar
tera har hausla paband-e-gulistan nikla

fasl-e-gul rang-e-chaman qafila-e-abr-e-bahaar
in mein koi na sharik-e-gham-e-insan nikla

kya sitam hai dil-e-nashad ko ye daur-e-bahaar
naz-parwarda-e-arbab-e-gulistan nikla

fahm-o-idrak se aage hai yaqin ki manzil
aql ka ijz hi sar-chashma-e-iman nikla

jawedan ho na saki umr badi khair hui
gham-zada zist pe ye bhi tera ehsan nikla

harf-giri to hui dast-e-zulekha pe magar
shauq har haal mein wabasta-e-daman nikla
