jahan-e-ilm ko taslim hai waqar tera
adab ke phulon se daman hai lala-zar tera

chaman mein yun to bahaar aati jati rahti hai
magar sukhan ka hai gulshan sada-bahaar tera

jamal-e-husn ki duniya mein kho gaya hai wo
padha kalam hai jis ne bhi ek bar tera

nazar-faroz wo mani wo dil-kusha alfaz
ki hai bayaz ka har safha zar-nigar tera

teri nazir nahin rifat-e-takhayyul mein
sukhan hai arsh-e-mualla se ham-kanar tera

tuyur-o-wahshi-o-insan-o-fitrat-e-rangin
tere kalam mein yaksan hai sab se pyar tera

khula waraq tha dil insan ka tere aage
hai tarjumani-e-jazbaat shahkar tera

nashat-e-wasl hai hasil tere fasanon mein
isi tarane se hai saz naghma-bar tera

wo tarjumani-e-tahzib-e-hind ki tu ne
ki yaadgar-e-zamana hai rozgar tera

diya hai shakespeare ko maqam maghrib ne
hai gosha gosha-e-alam mein haq-guzar tera

sharab-e-husn lutai hai tu ne khum ke khum
rahega kaif se sarshaar baada-khwar tera

hai tere naghmon ka shaida 'habib' muddat se
isi sharab mein hai mast baada-khwar tera
