mughalta hai uruj-o-zaval thoḌi hai
hamari aankh ke shishe men baal thoḌi hai
hamare dil men kabutar namaz paḌhte hain
hamare dil men ta.assub ka jaal thoḌi hai
labada barf ka oḌhe hue hai jvala-mukhi
zamin ke laave men ab ke ubaal thoḌi hai
hain ham husaini hamen sar kaTana aata hai
hamare paas yazidana-chal thoḌi hai
mire habib ki tamsil DhunDne vaalo
vo be-misal hai us ki misal thoḌi hai
har ek shaḳh se jaaḌe ki barf lipTi hai
abhi daraḳht pe patton ki shaal thoḌi hai
ba-roz-e-id bhi roze ke jaisi halat hai
amir-e-shahr se lekin saval thoḌi hai
kamal jitna bhi hai aag ke badan men hai
dhuan dhuan hai dhuen men kamal thoḌi hai
azal se chand men charḳha chala rahi hai magar
‘navaz’ ab bhi vo buḌhiya niDhal thoḌi hai
