ye pyari pyari battakhen chalti hain kis andaz se
jaise hasin shahzadiyan ithla rahi hon naz se

hai zard gendon ki tarah hamrah bachchon ka kutumb
tum rui ke gale kaho gole kahen resham ke hum

hain raniyan talab ki ye ujli ujli battakhen
belon bhari jhilon ki hain un se hi qaem raunaqen

tan dudhiya chikne hain par sine tane akde hain sar
ya kashtiyan chandi ki hain shaffaf sath-e-ab par

marmar ke but hain tairte pani ke upar shan se
pariyan ye shokh o shang si aai hain nuristan se

aisi safed-o-khushnuma jaise khilaune barf ke
ya takhta-e-billor par raushan hain momi qumqume

chonchen sunahri khol kar qen qen ki tanen ghol kar
lahron mein lahraati hain ye panjon ke chappu tol kar

nilofaron ka kunj hai in ki masarrat ka jahan
nikhre hue sundar kanwal dete hain in ko thapkiyan
