ghar ke naqsh-o-nigar ki surat
naqsh hai dil pe yar ki surat

uf ye dam todti hui shamen
ankhdiyon mein khumar ki surat

har dariche mein hai charagh ka gul
ab hai ye intizar ki surat

ab dhadakta hai bar bar dimagh
dil-e-be-ikhtiyar ki surat

bas yunhi aate jate milte hain
hum bhi lail-o-nahaar ki surat

us ka aana bhi ek qayamat tha
mahshar-e-intizar ki surat

gard ki tarah baith jaenge
jo uthe hain ghubar ki surat

apni mahrumiyon ka jashn manaen
aao jashn-e-bahaar ki surat

ye sadi bhi guzar hi jaegi
shutar-e-be-mahaar ki surat

wan bhi sahti hai dhup ki yalghaar
shajar-e-saya-dar ki surat

sar-e-tufan guzar lo 'naqwi'
ek yahi hai qarar ki surat
