motee samajh ke shaan-e-kareemee ne chun lie
qatare jo the mire araq-e-imfial ke
main tujh ko bataata hoon taqadeer-e-umam kya hai
shamasheer-o-sinaan avval taoos-o-rubaab aakhir
isee khata se itaab-e-mulook hai mujh par
ki jaanata hoon maaal-e-sikandaree kya hai
hava ho aisee ki hindostaan se ai iqbal
uda ke mujh ko gubaar-e-rah-e-hijaaz kare
miree nigaah mein vo rind hee nahin saaqee
jo hoshiyaaree o mastee mein imtiyaaz kare
zameer-e-laala may-e-laal se hua labarez
ishaara paate hee soofee ne tod dee parahez
nahin is khulee faza mein koee gosha-e-faraagat
ye jahaan ajab jahaan hai na qafas na aashiyaana
mohabbat ke lie dil dhoondh koee tootane vaala
ye vo may hai jise rakhate hain naazuk aabageenon mein
gulazaar-e-hast-o-bood na begaana-vaar dekh
hai dekhane kee cheez ise baar baar dekh
maqaam-e-shauq tire qudasiyon ke bas ka nahin
unheen ka kaam hai ye jin ke hausale hain ziyaad
