Yun tere husn ki tasweer ghazal mein aaye,
jaise bilqis sulemaan ke mehal mein aaye.
Jabr se ek hua zaayeqa-e-hijr-o-visaal,
ab kahan se woh maza sabr ke phal mein aaye.
Ye bhi aaraaish-e-hasti ka taqaza tha ki hum,
halqa-e-fikr se maidaan-e-amal mein aaye.
Har qadam dast-o-garebaan hai yahan khair se shar,
hum bhi kis marka-e-jung-o-jadal mein aaye.
Zindagi jin ke tasawwur se jila paati thi,
haaye kya log the jo dum-e-ajal mein aaye. !!
