mausam-e-gul aa gayā phir dasht-paimā.ī rahe

ai junūñ lāzim hai shaġhl-e-ābla-pā.ī rahe

laakh mizrāb-e-alam kī kār-farmā.ī rahe

ai rabāb-e-isq phir bhī naġhma-pairā.ī rahe

dekhnā hai soz-o-sāz-e-mausam-e-gul kī bahār

imtizāj-e-sho.ala-o-shabnam kī ra.anā.ī rahe

aa sakā lab tak kisī ke bhī na harf-e-mudda.ā

ham tamannā.ī rahe vo bhī tamannā.ī rahe

ham bhī dikhlā.eñ jahāñ ko dil ke dāġhoñ kī bahār

aap kī hāsil agar ham ko masīhā.ī rahe

justujū-e-yār meñ paayā na koī dam qarār

nik.hat-e-gul kī tarah aalam meñ harjā.ī rahe

raunaq-e-dair-o-haram kā 'qādrī' kyā pūchhnā

raushnī ik sham.a kī do ghar meñ jab chhā.ī rahe
