jugnu ki raushni hai kashana-e-chaman mein
jugnū kī raushnī hai kāshāna-e-chaman meñ
yā sham.a jal rahī hai phūloñ kī anjuman meñ
aayā hai āsmāñ se uḌ kar koī sitāra
yā jaan paḌ ga.ī hai mahtāb kī kiran meñ
yā shab kī saltanat meñ din kā safīr aayā
ġhurbat meñ aa ke chamkā gumnām thā vatan meñ
takmā koī girā hai mahtāb kī qabā kā
zarra hai yā numāyāñ sūraj ke pairahan meñ
husn-e-qadīm kī ik poshīda ye jhalak thī
le aa.ī jis ko qudrat ḳhalvat se anjuman meñ
chhoTe se chāñd meñ hai zulmat bhī raushnī bhī
niklā kabhī gahan se aayā kabhī gahan meñ
jugnu ki raushni hai kashana-e-chaman mein
ya shama jal rahi hai phulon ki anjuman mein
aaya hai aasman se uD kar koi sitara
ya jaan paD gai hai mahtab ki kiran mein
ya shab ki saltanat mein din ka safir aaya
ghurbat mein aa ke chamka gumnam tha watan mein
takma koi gira hai mahtab ki qaba ka
zarra hai ya numayan suraj ke pairahan mein
husn-e-qadim ki ek poshida ye jhalak thi
le aai jis ko qudrat KHalwat se anjuman mein
chhoTe se chand mein hai zulmat bhi raushni bhi
nikla kabhi gahan se aaya kabhi gahan mein
- Tasvir-e-Manazil (Jild Avval)
