chand nikla hai ba-andaz-e-digar aaj ki sham
barish-e-nur hai ta-hadd-e-nazar aaj ki sham

zindagi nur ki aaghosh mein hai jalwa-numa
kitna masrur hai har ek bashar aaj ki sham

yun to hoti hai haqiqat mein har ek sham hasin
rahmaton barkaton wali hai magar aaj ki sham

misl-e-khurshid jabinon pe hain sajdon ke nishan
qalb-e-momin hua manind-e-qamar aaj ki sham

hain ziya-bar mohabbat ke sabhi naqsh-o-nigar
dil ki duniya hai bahaaron ka nagar aaj ki sham

surat-e-kahkashan ho gai har rahguzar
zarra zarra nazar aata hai guhar aaj ki sham

ahl-e-zar hi nahin muflis bhi hain shadan shadan
gham-nasibon ko mila gham se mafar aaj ki sham

gulshan-e-dil mein mahakte hain masarrat ke gulab
le ke aai hai mohabbat ki sahar aaj ki sham

nazish-e-rang-e-bahaaran hai har ek nazzara
kitna rangin hai andaz-e-nazar aaj ki sham
