yaqin ka rang bhi hai wahm ka ghubar bhi hai
fareb-e-husn-e-nazar dasht-e-eatibar bhi hai

khizan ka rang bhi hai mo'atabar chaman ke liye
ye husn-e-gul hai jo minnat-kash-e-bahaar bhi hai

asir-e-wahm-o-guman hai na jaane kab se nigah
agarche pesh-e-nazar harf-e-e'tibar bhi hai

ye main ne mana sukun maut ki alamat hai
magar sukun ke liye dil hi be-qarar bhi hai

ruki ruki si agarche hai kaenat ki nabz
bikharte tutte lamhon ka intishaar bhi hai

ajib turfa-tamasha hai is ko kya kahiye
ki dil-figar bhi 'manzar' wafa-shiar bhi hai
