gulshan ki faqat phulon se nahin, kanton se bhi zeenat hoti hai
jeene ke liye iss duniya mein ghum ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai
ae ! waaiz-e-naadan karta hai tu ek qaymat ka charcha
yahan roz nighahen milti hain yahn roz qaymat hoti hai
vo prusish-e-gham ko aaye hain, kuch keh na sakoon, chup reh na sakun
khamosh rahoon toh mushkil hai, keh doon toh shikyat hoti hai
karna hi padega jabt-e-alam, peene hi padenge ye ansoo
fariyad-0-fugaan se, ae ! nadaan tauheen-e-muhabat hoti hai
jo aa ke ruke daamal pe saba vo ashq nahin hai paani hai
jo ashq na chalke anskhon se, uss ashq ki keemat hoti hai
