Diyar-e-madah an alfaz ka jab karwan nikla
Alam lay kar qalam nikla’ ada ban kar bayan nikla
Basad andaaz-e-ra’naye, basad husun-e-shakeebaye
Barang-e-gulustan nikla, bashakal-e-kahkshan nikla
Udhar chirhka jorih man chandni ko maah-e-nudrat nay
Idhar khursheed-e-Ma’ana dar qubaye sad bayan nikla
Wafad Qaus-e-qazah laaye ke shamil rangtain kar lo
Tayooran-e-chaman dorhay ke daikho gulustan nikla
Ameer-e-karwaan ko muntakhab karnay ki baat aaye
Faqat ik ish’q ayesa tha jo sab man kamran nikla
Pay pardaz, baraq-e-takhyyul, samnay aaya
Tajassus nay zara sey ayerh di wo lamakan nikla
Buhut hi saaz-o-samaan kheema-e-fikir sukhun man tha
Magar un sab man aansoon hi mataa’e-e-karwaan nikla
Murassa’e ho gaye jab naat Husun-e-lafaz-o-ma’na sy
Adaye naat ka ik masala bhi imtihan nikla
Sunaya bulbul-o-qamari nay so andaaz say lakin
Adeeb-e-khush nawahi tha jo sab man khush bayan nikla
