ham bhī the gosha-gīr ki gumnām the bahut
is tarz-e-zīst meñ magar ārām the bahut
duniyā hai kār-ḳhāna-e-vahm-o-gumāñ tamām
sachche vahī fasāne the jo aam the bahut
ḳhud apne iztirār-e-tabī.at se tañg the
ham jo shikār-e-gardish-e-ayyām the bahut
lipTī rahī to sar-basar asrār thī vo zulf
khultī kabhī to us ke bhī paiġhām the bahut
ik umr tajrabāt meñ guzrī to ye khulā
yaañ āzmūda-kār hī nākām the bahut
