Khuda se husn ne ek roz yeh sawaal kiya
Jahan mein kyon na mujhe tune lazawaal kiya
Mila jawaab ke tasweer khana hai dunya
Shabe draze udum ka fasana hai dunya
Hoi hai roz e taghayyur se jab namood uski
Wahi haseen hai haqiqat e zawaal hai jiski
Kahin Qareeb se yeh guftagu Qamar ne suni
Falak pe aam hoi akhter e sehar ne suni
Sehar ne sitare se sunkar sunai shabnam ko
Falak ki baat batadi zameen ke mehram ko
Phir aye phool ke aaNsoo payam shabnam se
Kali ka nannha sa dil khun ho gaya gham se
Chaman se rota hoa mausam e bahar gaya
Shabab sair ko ayaa tha sogwar gaya.
