jalva-e-shām hai ye sub.h kā manzar to nahīñ

chāñd kaisā bhī ho sūraj ke barābar to nahīñ

qaht-e-shamshād-e-qadāñ vaj.h-e-sar-afrāzī hai

varna sarkār kuchh aise bhī qad-āvar to nahīñ

ism-e-āzam koī phūñke to ye jaadū TuuTe

but bane sehr se ham-sañg ke paikar to nahīñ

kaam aa.egī sarv-o-sañg kī nisbat varna

dar-numā naqsh haiñ dīvār pe ye dar to nahīñ

jazba-e-shauqat-e-ta.amīr banā marqad-e-shauq

is na.e shahr ke ye tāj-mahal ghar to nahīñ
