char-su hai badi vahshat ka saman
kisi aaseb ka saaya hai yahan
koi avaz si hai marsiyan-khvan
shahr ka shahr bana goristan
ek makhluq jo basti hai yahan
jis pe insan ka guzarta hai guman
khud to sakit hai misal-e-tasvir
jumbish-e-ghair se hai raqs-kunan
koi chehra nahin juz zer-e-naqab
na koi jism hai juz be-dil-o-jan
ulma hain dushman-e-fahm-o-tahaqiq
kodani sheva-e-danish-mandan
shair-e-qaum pe ban aai hai
kizb kaise ho tasavvuf men nihan
lab hain masruf-e-qasida-goi
aur ankhon men hai zillat uryan
sabz khat aqibat-o-din ke asiir
parsa khush-tan-o-nau-khez javan
ye zan-e-naghma-gar-o-ishq-shiar
yas-o-hasrat se hui hai hairan
kis se ab arzu-e-vasl karen
is kharabe men koi mard kahan
