isMein aalam ki sab aabaadi o virana hai

aastin usne jo kuhni tak chaDhai waqt-e-subh

howe na azab us pe kabhi jis ke pas-e-marg

hai roz-e-panj-shamba tu fatiha dila de

tu gosh-e-dil se sune usko gar but-e-be-mehr

kyun sher-o-shaeri ko bura jaanun mushafi

main kinga-e-arsh se par mar ke guzra

ai mushafi ustad-e-fan-e-reKHta-goi

mushafi kyunke chhupe un se mera dard-e-nihan

charagh-e-husn-e-yusuf jab ho raushan

yun hai Dalak badan ki us pairahan ki tah mein

jab tak ki teri galiyan khane ke nahin hum

pan khane ki ada ye hai to ek aalam ko

chali bhi ja jaras-e-ghuncha ki sada pe nasim

hai yahan kis ko dimagh anjuman-arai ka
