shah-jahan ka taj hai duniya ke sab mahlon ka shah
pyar ka ye git hai qalb-e-hazin ki bhi hai aah

ek shahanshah ki mohabbat ho gai hai la-zawal
paikar-e-marmar mein pinhan hai numayan hai kamal

chaudhwin ki chandni mein taj ka wo husn-o-rang
chand hai apne harif-e-husn ke jalwe se dang

zindagi mein chand se badh kar hasin mumtaz thi
shah-jahan ki ham-nashin thi hamdam-o-hamraaz thi

husn us ka aaj bhi hai goshe goshe se ayan
taj ke har ek pahlu mein hai ulfat ka nishan

taj husn-o-ishq ka hai aisa ek rangin khwab
pesh karna ghair mumkin hai 'asad' jis ka jawab
