zarron ke dahakte aiwan mein
do shoala-ba-jaan larzan sae

masruf-e-naza-e-baham hain
ud ud ke ghubar-e-rah-e-adam

aiwan ke band darichon se
takra ke bikharte jate hain

kohre mein panapti samton se
nazad hawaon ke jhonke

nadida aahani pardon par
rah rah ke jhapatte rahte hain

ek pal do pul ki baat nahin
zarron ke mahal ki baat nahin

har resha-e-gul har sang-e-giran
har mauj-e-rawan ke sine mein

ye bint-e-azal aur bint-e-abad ki
shoala-ba-jaan parchhaiyan yun hi

sar-garm-e-paikar na jaane kab se hain
aur hum hain ki salik-e-rah-e-baqa

hathon mein liye fanus-e-fana
zarron se gurezan

suraj ki nayab shuaon ke arman
sinon mein chhupae jate hain

khud ko bahlae jate hain
