sham-e-furqat ke sitare to asar tak Thahre

shām-e-furqat ke sitāre to asar tak Thahre

haañ vafādār the aañsū jo sahar tak Thahre

jalve dekhe to malak aur bashar tak Thahre

sajde karne ke liye shams-o-qamar tak Thahre

dāstāñ rañg par aa.ī to zamāna badlā

Dūbte taare bhī āġhāz-e-sahar tak Thahre

kah de khiltī huī kaliyoñ se koī gulshan meñ

itnā halkā ho tabassum ki nazar tak Thahre

jagmagātī huī maujoñ kā to kyā zikr koī

kashtī aate hue dekhī to bhañvar tak Thahre

sham-e-furqat ke sitare to asar tak Thahre

han wafadar the aansu jo sahar tak Thahre

jalwe dekhe to malak aur bashar tak Thahre

sajde karne ke liye shams-o-qamar tak Thahre

dastan rang par aai to zamana badla

Dubte tare bhi aaghaz-e-sahar tak Thahre

kah de khilti hui kaliyon se koi gulshan mein

itna halka ho tabassum ki nazar tak Thahre

jagmagati hui maujon ka to kya zikr koi

kashti aate hue dekhi to bhanwar tak Thahre
