wo qubul-surat si
sanwli bhali aurat

thoda ruk ke dekhen to
kitni khubsurat hai

us ke narm lahje mein
us ki soch ki khushbu

us ke zauq-e-poshish mein
halke halke rangon ke

intikhab ka jadu
fikr ki jawan kirnen

us ki rup-rekhaen
ankhdiyon mein kuchh khake

muztarib khayalon ke
ungliyon mein rachnaen

naghma-e-takallum mein
zer-o-bam kai ghaltan

zarf aur zarafat ke
zer-e-lab tabassum se

khul ke muskurane tak
pech-o-kham kai larzan

ikhtiyar-o-adat ke
sadgi mein chehre ki

shama ek farozan si
aanch dard-mandi ki

lau kisi bulandi ki
junbish-e-rawish us ki

narm-gam o aahista
ek jahan-e-ranai

har nigah-e-shaista
kaif mein latafat ke

tez hissiyat shamil
tegh se zehanat ki

us ki har ada qatil
wo qubul-surat si

sanwli bhali aurat
thoda ruk ke dekhen to

kitni khubsurat hai!
