abr-e-siyah ki farsuda wo chadar
tarik rakhti kab tak ye manzar

talat pe zulmat kya ghaalib aati
khulte na kab tak fitrat ke jauhar

daman ghata ka khud chaak karke
dekho wo nikla mah-e-munawwar

ye khas mazhar mahr-e-mubin ka
kitna hasin hai allahu-akbar

jo rup is ka wo rup us ka
itna mushabah chehra hai kis ka

mazhar jalali mazhar jamali
donon ki surat hai bholi bhaali

donon subuk-rawan ki rawish se
zahir nahin hai aashufta haali

tabinda un ke faiz-e-asar se
bazm-e-khayali bazm-e-misali

din is se taban raat is se raushan
zarkar-e-sanad kab dekhi khali

nazren hain un par husn-e-atam ki
jalwon se us ke shan un ki chamki

khubi se koi kab hai muarra
qudrat ka shahid hai zarra zarra

lekin hai un ki shan aur hi kuchh
arz-o-sama ko hai un pe gharra

aae gahan mein bhi ye to kya gham
zat in ki zulmat se hai mubarra

hain mere roz-o-shab un se dilkash
hota hun un se khush roz-marra

kahti hai ishrat meri nazar ki
le lo balaen shams-o-qamar ki

khush-kun jab un ka jah-o-hasham ho
zauq-e-nazar phir kyon mera kam ho

baaligh-nazar hon us se na kyon khush
kul nuriyon ki zau jis mein zam ho

hon dida-war kyon is se na shadan
taron ka baqi jis se bharam ho

un ki numud-e-zulmat-ruba par
partaw-fagan jab nur-e-qadam ho

ho chand maddham ya mand suraj
chamkenge yunhi ye chand suraj
