yun tadapte hue 'naushad' watan se nikle
jis tarah bulbul-e-betab chaman se nikle

wae qismat ki hua dil na shagufta shab-e-wasl
hae arman na us ghuncha-dahan se nikle

waqt-e-rukhsat main kahun kya jo mera haal hua
ashk jab dida-e-ahbab-e-watan se nikle

bagh mein surat-e-nikhat the tere hum wahshi
mausam-e-gul idhar aaya ki chaman se nikle

falak-e-tafraqa-andaz ne rahne na diya
hausle kuchh bhi na yaran-e-watan se nikle

dil jo 'naushad' lagao to kisi gul-ru se
jaan nikle to gham-e-ghuncha-dahan se nikle
