zinat-e-unwan hai mazmun aalam-e-tauhid ka
matla-e-diwan na kyun matla bane khurshid ka

ye sawad-e-nama hai ya surma-e-taskhir hai
hai bayaz-e-safha ya hai nur subh-e-id ka

dair mein hai wo na hai kabe mein aur hai sab kahin
talib-e-nazzara ko gar ho saliqa did ka

ho jo us ke nam par aaghaz pura ho wo kaam
hai bar-arinda wahi har shakhs ki ummid ka

jo mila us se use kahta hai aalam mar gaya
nam murda rakh diya hai zinda-e-jawed ka

lan-tarani hi rahi us shokh ko ushshaq se
hausla paida na kis kis ko hua go did ka

taza mazmun 'sehr' apni tab-e-mauzun se nikal
ho na tu tarz-e-sukhan mein aashna taqlid ka
