ek dal aur itne bar-e-garan
unghte ped sar-nigun galiyan

muzmahil nur muzmahil khushiyan
an-ginat khwab an-ginat arman

be-mahak phul adh-khili kaliyan
baadshahon ka qissa-e-man-o-tu

tera sikkon ka tira-tar jadu
surkh tarikiyan siyah lahu

muntashir raat muntashir gesu
be-asar aah be-asar aansu

zehn ki qabr dil ka virana
fikr-e-rozi talash-e-mai-khana

koi ba-aql koi diwana
meri tahqiq us ka afsana

zard batti udas parwana
al-gharaz ek na ek gham-e-gul-o-khar

falsafe ka khumar ishq ka bar
dil ko ek subh-o-sham ka aazar

hasrat-e-sulh-o-hasrat-e-paikar
said-e-iblis-o-kushta-e-yazdan
