ret par sabt hain ye kis ke qadam husn ko narm-khirami ki qasam sar-e-sahil miri takhil-e-javan guzri hai ya koi

dost kahte hain tire dasht-e-vafa men kaise itni khushbu hai mahakta ho gulistan jaise go badi chiiz hai ghamkhavari-e-arbab-e-vafa kitne

chamak rahe hain daranti ke tez dandane khamida hal ki ye alhad javan nur-e-nazar sunahri fasl men jis vaqt ghota-zan

mujhe sameto main reza reza bikhar raha huun na jaane main badh raha huun ya apne hi ghubar-e-safar men har

matiyale matiyale badal ghuum rahe hain maidanon ke phailav par dariya ki divani maujen humak humak kar hans deti hain

apne maazi ke ghane jangal se kaun niklega! kahan niklega be-karan raat sitare nabud chand ubhra hai? kahan ubhra hai?

agar hai jazba-e-tamir zinda to phir kis chiiz ki ham men kami hai jahan se phuul tuuta tha vahin se
