zarron mein jumbish thi koi chhai thi faza par mad-hoshi
ek nind thi har shai par tari qudrat bhi thi mahw-e-khamoshi

raushan na sitare the upar viran falak ki basti thi
lala na zamin par khilta tha be-rang nigar-e-hasti thi

aahen na labon par aati thin muztar na tanon mein jaanen thin
dil mein na umangen uthti thin jazbaat ki band zabanen thin

tha husn takhayyul mein ab tak khilat na mila tha surat ka
betab nigahen thin sari wa dar na hua tha jannat ka

jab roz-e-azal ki subh hui ek nur ka dariya lahraya

fitrat ke uthe parde sare bedar jahan-e-raaz hua
sahil ka sukun dhaare ki tadap be-tabiyan mauj-e-tufan ki

amrit-bhari shabnam ke qatre ranginiyan bagh-e-rizwan ki
phulon ki mahak kundan ki damak bijli ke shararon ki chamken

sham aur sahar ke hasin jalwe taron ke tabassum ki jhalken
khallaq-e-zaman ne un sab ka sat khinch ke mitti par chhidka

tabqat-e-zamin mein hui halchal ek phul kanwal ka phabak utha
phir batn se un ke ek dewi paida hui bazm-e-imkan mein

rakkha gaya nam aurat us ka khushiyan huin bagh-e-rizwan mein
