Farogh-e-dida-o-dil lala-e-sahar ki tarah

farogh-e-dida-o-dil lala-e-sahar ki tarah
ujala bin ke raho sham-e-rahguzar ki tarah

payambaron ki tarah se jiyo zamane mein
payam-e-shauq bano daulat-e-hunar ki tarah

ye zindagi bhi koi zindagi hai ham-nafaso
sitara ban ke jale bujh gae sharar ki tarah

Dara saki na mujhe tirgi zamane ki
andheri raat se guzra hun main qamar ki tarah

samundaron ke talatum ne mujh ko pala hai
chamak raha hun isi waste guhar ki tarah

tamam koh o tal o bahr o bar hain zer-e-nagin
khula hua hun main shahin ke baal-o-par ki tarah

tamam daulat-e-kaunain hai KHiraj us ka
ye dil nahin kisi luTe hue nagar ki tarah

guzar ke KHar se ghunche se gul se shabnam se
main shaKH-e-waqt mein aaya hun ek samar ki tarah

main dil mein talKHi-e-zahrab-e-gham bhi rakhta hun
na misl-e-shahd hun shirin na main shakar ki tarah

KHizan ke dast-e-sitam ne mujhe chhua hai magar
tamam shoala o shabnam hun kashmar ki tarah

meri nawa mein hai lutf-o-surur-e-subh-e-nashat
har ek sher hai rindon ki sham-e-tar ki tarah

ye fatehana ghazal asr-e-nau ka hai aahang
buland o past ko dekha hai dida-war ki tarah
