ye meri pahli id hai jis mein
tu nahin hai to soch kar tujh ko

main teri yaad se mila hun gale
wo sukun-bakhsh chhanw khwab hui

jo kadi dhup mein mayassar thi
teri chhitnar shakhsiyat ke tale

dost ahbab rashk karte the
teri bharpur parwarish ke tufail

hum bahan bhai jis tarah se pale
tera ehsan hai ki tu ne hamein

ilm-o-irfan se ham-kanar kiya
ek dar-e-agahi ko wa kar ke

raaz-e-hasti ko aashkar kiya
aankh pur-nam hai muzmahil hai dimagh

dekh kar tere zauq ka izhaar
zard lathi qaraqali topi

garm loi kutub ki almari
dil pareshan hai dekh kar teri

surmai wasket siyah pa-posh
jo teri qurbaton mein hasil tha

ab kahan id ka wo josh-o-kharosh
aisa khush-bakht shakhs hoga koi

jis ki aulad us pe naz kare
hai dua dil se us jahan mein bhi

rab tujhe aur sarfaraaz kare
