nai tahzib ke shahkar-e-azim!
teri pur-kaif o tarab-khez fazaon ko salam!

kitne nau-khez o hasin jism yahan chaaron taraf
raqs mein mahw hain uryani ki taswir bane

apni ranai o zebai ki tashhir bane
saz-e-pur-josh ki sangat mein thirakte jode

farsh-e-marmar pe phisalte hain bahak jate hain
daudti jati hai rag rag mein sharab-e-gulfam

nai tahzib ke shahkar-e-azim!
teri pur-kaif o tarab-khez fazaon ko salam!

un ki aankhon se chhalakti hai hawas ki masti
un ke sinon mein farozan hain wo jinsi shoale

jin ki ek ek lapat se hai bhasam sharm-o-haya
qahqahe, saz ki tanon mein dhale jate hain

lams ki aag mein sab jism jale jate hain
aankh ke doron mein poshida hain mubham se payam

nai tahzib ke shahkar-e-azim!
teri pur-kaif o tarab-khez fazaon ko salam

dhadkanen tez huin shauq ki lai badhne lagi
jism par tangi-e-malbus zara aur badhi

aankh mein nashshe ki ek lahr zara aur chadhi
larzish-e-pa se jhalakne lagi dil ki laghzish!

dafatan jaz ki pur-josh sada band hui
raushni dub gai phail gai zulmat-e-shab

jism se jism ki qurbat jo bujhane lagi aag
dopahar dhal gai jazbaat ki hone lagi sham

nai tahzib ke shahkar-e-azim!
teri pur-kaif o tarab-khez fazaon ko salam

jal gaya sina-e-sozan mein hi insan ka zamir
ruh ki chikh fazaon mein kahin dub gai

rukh-e-tahzib pasine mein sharabor hua
ilm hai sar-ba-gareban o adab mohr-ba-lab

kis se is daur-e-jarahat mein ho marham ki talab
mulk-e-tahzib mein changez hai phir khun-asham

nai tahzib ke shahkar-e-azim!
teri pur-kaif o tarab-khez fazaon ko salam
