ye kaun aa gaya rukh-e-khandan liye hue
aariz pe rang-o-nur ka tufan liye hue

bimar ke qarib ba-sad-shan-e-ehtiyat
dildari-e-nasim-e-bahaaran liye hue

rukhsar par latif si ek mauj-e-sar-khushi
lab par hansi ka narm sa tufan liye hue

peshani-e-jamil pe anwar-e-tamkanat
tabindagi-e-subh-e-darakhshan liye hue

zulfon ke pech-o-kham mein bahaaren chhupi hui
ek karwan-e-nikhat-e-bustan liye hue

aa hi gaya wo mera nigar-e-nazar-nawaz
zulmat-kade mein sham-e-farozan liye hue

ek ek ada mein saikadon pahlu-e-dildahi
ek ek nazar mein pursish-e-pinhan liye hue

mere sawad-e-shauq ka khurshid-e-nim-shab
azm-e-shikast-e-mah-jabinan liye hue

dars-e-sukun-o-sabr ba-in ehtamam-e-naz
nishtar-zani-e-jumbish-e-mizhgan liye hue

aankhon se ek rau si nikalti hui har aan
gharqabi-e-hayat ka saman liye hue

hilti hui nigah mein bijli bhari hui
khilte hue labon mein gulistan liye hue

ye kaun hai 'majaz' se sar-garm-e-guftugu
donon hatheliyon pe zanakhdan liye hue
