pas tha nakaami-e-sayyaad ka ai ham-safir

han dikha de ai tasawwur phir wo subh o sham tu

haya nahin hai zamane ki aankh mein baqi

murid-e-sada to ro ro ke ho gaya taib

nahin tera nasheman qasr-e-sultani ke gumbad par

kushada dast-e-karam jab wo be-niyaz kare

zamir-e-lala mai-e-lal se hua labrez

buton se tujhko umiden KHuda se naumidi

guzar ja aql se aage ki ye nur

KHudi ko kar buland itna ki har taqdir se pahle

isi KHata se itab-e-muluk hai mujh par

DhunDta phirta hun main iqbaal apne aapko

andaz-e-bayan garche bahut shoKH nahin hai

mana ki teri did ke qabil nahin hun main

ghulami mein na kaam aati hain shamshiren na tadbiren
