rang bharti hai fazaon mein teri fikr-e-rasa
husn ka paikar nazar aati hai har mauj-e-saba

dekh kar pur-haul sannate mein ujdi bastiyan
gham se rah jata hun danton mein daba kar ungliyan

teri zulfen badliyan aankhen sitaron ki tarah
chaal mein hain mastiyan rangat shararon ki tarah

rukne lagte hain ujalon ke usi dam jaise panw
jis taraf pagdandiyon par padti hai gagar ki chhanw

muztarib hota hai is manzar se dil insan ka
dhadkanon par dil ki hota hai guman tufan ka

ai musawwir tujh ko shair ne isi par mat di
khinch bhi sakta hai tu taswir ehsasat ki

kash de sakta tujhe husn-e-basirat tera fan
har muraqqa tera ban jata khud apni anjuman

kaun hai qail teri is shokhi-e-tahrir ka
tu musawwir hi nahin jazbaat ki taswir ka
