gulshan-e-alam men jab tashrif laati hai bahar
rang-o-bu ke husn kya kya kuchh dikhati hai bahar
subh ko la kar nasim dil-kusha har shakh par
taza-tar kis kis tarah ke gul khilati hai bahar
naunihalon ki dikha kar dam-ba-dam nashv-o-numa
jism men ruh-e-ravan kya kya badhati hai bahar
bulbulen chahkarti hain shakh-e-gul par ja-ba-ja
bulbulen kya fil-haqiqat chahchahati hai bahar
hauz-o-favvaron ko de kar aabru phir lutf se
kya moattar farsh sabze ka bichhati hai bahar
jumbish-e-bad-e-saba se ho ke ham-dosh-e-nashat
saath har sabze ke kya kya lahlahati hai bahar
khalq ko har lahza apne husn ki rangat dikha
be-takalluf kya hi har dil men samati hai bahar
majmaa-e-khuban hujum-e-ashiqan aur josh-e-gul
dekh in rangon ko kya kya khilkhilati hai bahar
gul-rukhon ki dekh kar gul-baziyan har dam nazir
gul idhar khandan udhar dhumen machati hai bahar
