hawa aashufta-tar rakhti hai hum aashufta-haalon ko

ye faza-e-saz-o-muzrib ye hujum-e-taj-e-daran

narmi hawa ki mauj-e-tarab-KHez abhi se hai

surat-e-zanjir mauj-e-KHun mein ek aahang hai

hikayat-e-husn-e-yar likhna hadis-e-mina-o-jam kahna

aaj muqabla hai saKHt mir-e-sipah ke liye

ek hi shahr mein rahte baste kale koson dur raha

is guftugu se yun to koi muddaa nahin

taza hawa bahaar ki dil ka malal le gai

wo saat surat-e-chaqmaq jis se lau nikalti hai

wahi dagh-e-lala ki baat hai ki ba-nam-e-husn udhar gai

naqshe usi ke dil mein hain ab tak khinche hue

kya hue baad-e-bayaban ke pukare hue log

haram ka aaina barson se dhundla bhi hai hairan bhi

likhi hui jo tabahi hai us se kya jata
