na wo ketki ki phaban rahi
na wo motiya ki ada rahi

na wo nastaran na saman rahi
na wo gul rahe na faza rahi

na gulon ke ab hain wo qahqahe
na wo bulbulon ke hain chahchahe

na ghazal-sara wo koi rahe
na wo qumriyon ki sada rahi

na wo sarw hai na wo aab-e-ju
na wo ham-safir hain khush-gulu

na banafsha hai na wo naz-e-bu
na wo jafri na jafa rahi

na wo subh ki hain tajalliyan
na shafaq ki aah wo jhalkiyan

na wo udi udi hain badliyan
na wo bhini bhini hawa rahi

na umangen hain wo shabab ki
na wo pattiyan hain gulab ki

na hawa mein bu hai sharab ki
mujhe mast thi jo bina rahi

wo kanwal ghazab ke the dil-ruba
jahan udte the mere ham-nawa

magar ab na un ki hai wo ada
na wo bu rahi na safa rahi

lab-e-abju thi faza ghazab
wo bahaar ki thi hawa ajab

mere kunj mein mujhe roz-o-shab
mai-e-be-khudi thi pila rahi

wo ghazab ki ku-ku wo zamzama
wo surili dard-bhari sada

sar-e-sham sarw pe fakhta
mujhe loriyan thi suna rahi

hain kanwal ki khushk jo pattiyan
meri khwab-gah thi kabhi yahan

yahin shab ko de de ke thapkiyan
thi nasim mujh ko sula rahi

na gulon mein bu-e-wafa rahi
na wo dil-ruba hi ada rahi

na chaman raha na faza rahi
na wo din rahe na hawa rahi

na rawish hai ab wo siphar ki
na gulon mein bu hai wo mahr ki

ki hawa hai gulshan-e-dahr ki
mujhe sabz-bagh dikha rahi
