ranai-e-bahaar pe the sab farefta

nigah-e-lutf ko ulfat-shiar samjhe the

wo karam ho ki sitam ek talluq hai zarur

jo kaam karne hain usMein na chahiye taKHir

har qadam par hai ehtisab-e-amal

ab to jo shai hai meri nazron mein hai na-paedar

maut ke baad bhi marne pe na raazi hona

batae kaun kisi ko nishan-e-manzil-e-zist

izhaar-e-gham kiya tha ba-ummid-e-iltifat

hai nawed-e-bahaar har lab par

mujhko ehsas-e-rang-o-bu na hua

gulon se itni bhi wabastagi nahin achchhi

aashna jab tak na tha uski nigah-e-lutf se

ye mahr-o-mah-o-kawakib ki bazm-e-la-mahdud

faiz-e-ayyam-e-bahaar ahl-e-qafas kya jaanen
