zinat-e-bazm-e-gul-rukhan hoga
wo jo rad-karda-e-jahan hoga

kuchh na socho rah-e-mohabbat mein
jo bhi hoga wo na-gahan hoga

phir wo nikle nazar churae hue
phir kahin qatl-e-ashiqan hoga

zakhm-e-dil jo khula nahin ab tak
wahi tera mizaj-dan hoga

muddaton se saba nahin aai
jaane kya haal-e-mahwashan hoga

badh ke un madh-bhari nigahon se
kya koi jam-e-arghawan hoga

tera wada wafa hua bhi to kya
tera 'iqbaal' phir kahan hoga
