zaban-e-khalq ko chup aastin ko tar pa kar
main aab-dida hawa khun ko dar-ba-dar pa kar

ye kis ke qurb ki khushbu basi hai sanson mein
ye mujh se kaun mila mujh ko be-khabar pa kar

safar ki shart kabhi is qadar kadi kab thi
thakan kuchh aur badhi saya-e-shajar pa kar

wo sabz-tan tha shafaq pairahan khula us par
bana gulab sa wo lams yak nazar pa kar

wo na-shanas-e-tabiat hai jaanta tha main
wo hairaton mein raha tegh ko sipar pa kar

abhi abhi main jise dafn kar ke lauta hun
bahut ajib laga us ko apne ghar pa kar
