ye arz-o-sama qulzum-o-sahra mutharrik
ek tu hi nahin shams hai duniya mutharrik

ta-hadd-e-nazar ek wahi chehra mutharrik
ya husn-e-mujassam ka hai jalwa mutharrik

insanon mein ab bu-e-wafa hi nahin milti
har shakhs nazar aata hai tanha mutharrik

ye soch raha hun use kis chiz ka gham hai
rahti hai mere dil mein tamanna mutharrik

yun dhup se ghabra ke main sae mein na baitha
sakin hai agar ped to saya mutharrik

khushbu-e-gul-e-tar pe hi mauquf nahin hai
har shakh-e-gul-e-tar ka hai patta mutharrik

raushan kiye ek ne to bujhae diye ek ne
harakat mein hai zulmat to ujala mutharrik

jis ki bhi jo manzil hai wahin tak ye gaya hai
rahi ki badaulat hua rasta mutharrik

wo chand ho suraj ho gul-e-tar ho ki shabnam
hum ne to har ek chiz ko dekha mutharrik

dariya ki hadon mein jo utar jaoge ai shams'
aaenge nazar sahil-o-dariya mutharrik
