waqt ka sans bhi tufan ka thahraw lage
is kadi rut mein kahan tuti hui naw lage

har nafas ruh mein ek zahr-bhara ghaw lage
har sada chikhte alfaz ka pathraw lage

khema-zan hogi usi ja pe sawari gul ki
ai saba dasht mein phir khun ka chhidkaw lage

phir se tajdid-e-sitam ki nai surat nikli
had se badla hua ahbab ka bartaw lage

log kahte hain wafa jins-e-giran-maya hai
shahr mein le to chalen dekh len kya bhaw lage

har ada us ki 'zafar' ju-e-rawan ki manind
dil mein jhankun to samandar ka sa phailaw lage
