husn sau-bar jalwa dikhae

husn sau-bār jalva dikhā.e

tālib-e-dīd bhī taab laa.e

sāmne vo jo be-parda aa.e

hosh ke bhī qadam Dagmagā.e

hai gulistāñ meñ shabnam bhī gul bhī

ik hañsai ek aañsū bahā.e

rose ta.amīr ho ik nasheman

āsmān roz bijlī girā.e

ek be-kas kī turbat pe koī

fātiha ko bhī kyuuñ haath uThā.e

rakh to lī hai banā-e-nasheman

dekhiye raas aa.e na aa.e

ho bhī kyuuñ fikr-e-ḳhurshīd mahshar

sar pe 'ahmad' haiñ ke ke saa.e

husn sau-bar jalwa dikhae

talib-e-did bhi tab lae

samne wo jo be-parda aae

hosh ke bhi qadam Dagmagae

hai gulistan mein shabnam bhi gul bhi

ek hansai ek aansu bahae

rose tamir ho ek nasheman

aasman roz bijli girae

ek be-kas ki turbat pe koi

fatiha ko bhi kyun hath uThae

rakh to li hai bana-e-nasheman

dekhiye ras aae na aae

ho bhi kyun fikr-e-KHurshid mahshar

sar pe 'ahmad' hain ke ke sae
