Qadr-o-qimat

suna hai resham ke kiDon ne
patton ki hariyali chaTi

shabnam ke qatron ki damak bhi
phulon ke rangon ko churaya

chand ki kirnon ke lachchhon se resham kata
aur ek than kiya tayyar jis ko pa lene ki KHatir

shirin ne farhad ko becha
hir ne hire

laila ne zulfon ki siyahi
lekin sauda ho na saka

ab phulon mein rang nahin hai
shabnam pani ke qatron mein Dub gai hai

patte patte hain lekin be-ab-o-numu
chand hai lekin bhik ka piyala kirnon se mahrum

suna hai resham ke kiDe ye sochte hain
un shahron se kuch karen

jin mein un ke resham ka gahak hi nahin hai
suna hai shirin hir aur laila apne namon ko badlenge

shayad yunhi un ke aashiq phir un ko pahchan saken
