gaiin yaron se vo agli mulaqaton ki sab rasmen
pada jis din se dil bas men tire aur dil ke ham bas men
kabhi milna kabhi rahna alag manind mizhgan ke
tamasha kaj-sirishton ka hai kuchh ikhlas ke bas men
tavaqqo kya ho jiine ki tire bimar-e-hijran ke
na jumbish nabz men jis ki na garmi jis ke malmas men
dikhae chira-dasti aah baladast gar apni
to maare haath daman-e-qayamat charkh-e-atlas men
jo hai gosha-nashin tere khayal-e-mast-e-abru men
vo hai bait-us-sanam men bhi to hai baitul-muqaddas men
kare lab-ashna harf-e-shikayat se kahan ye dam
tire mahzun-e-be-dam men tire maftun-e-bekas men
hava-e-ku-e-janan le ude us ko taajjub kya
tan-e-laghar men hai jaan is tarah jis tarah bu khas men
mujhe ho kis tarah qaul-o-qasam ka e’tibar un ke
hazaron de chuke vo qaul lakhon kha chuke qasmen
hue sab jama mazmun ‘zauq’ divan-e-do-alam ke
havas-e-khamsa hain insan ke vo band-e-mukhammas men
