na.e gul khile na.e dil bane na.e naqsh kitne ubhar ga.e

vo payambarān-e-sad inqilāb jidhar jidhar se guzar ga.e

jo shahīd-e-rāh-e-vafā hue vo isī ḳhushī meñ magan rahe

ki jo din the un kī hayāt ke ġham-e-zindagī meñ guzar ga.e

abhī saath saath to the magar mujhe mere haal pe chhoḌ kar

mire ham-jalīs kahāñ ga.e mire ham-safīr kidhar ga.e

mirī justujū ko faqīh-e-shahr batā rahā hai sharīk-e-zeher

use kyā ḳhabar ki dimāġh o dil yahī zahr khā ke nikhar ga.e

are o adīb-e-fasurda-ḳhū are o muġhanni-e-rañg o bū

abhī hāshiye pe khaḌā hai tū bahut aage ahl-e-hunar ga.e
