Poet
ai sanam sab hain tire hathon se nalan aj-kal
surat-e-naqus hain gabr-o-musalman aj-kal
baagh men kahte hain vo laale ka takhta dekh kar
gul khilati hai ajab khak-e-shahidan aj-kal
harf-e-matlab apne divane ka bhi sun ja zara
ho tujhe chhutti jo ai tifl-e-dabistan aj-kal
mausam-e-josh-e-junun hai jama-e-gul ki tarah
khud-ba-khud hote hain tukde jeb-o-dastan aj-kal
peshtar khat se maza tha husn ka ai naunihal
ho gaya daghi tira seb-e-zanakhdan aj-kal
yaad karte hain kisi ke mushaf-e-rukhsar ko
taq-e-nisyan par rakha hai ham ne quran aj-kal
zulfen chhodi hain jo us sayyad-e-gul-rukhsar ne
daam men phanste hain murghan-e-ghulistan aj-kal
haae vo khush-qad pae-gul-gasht ab aata nahin
nakhl-e-matam hai har ik sarv-e-gulistan aj-kal
zoaf ke hathon hue fasl-e-junun men tang ham
ho gaya phansi hamen apna gareban aj-kal
in dinon men zuur hota hai hamen josh-e-junun
bhagta hai chhod kar majnun bayaban aj-kal
jo hasin hai gard hai is badshah-e-husn ki
rahta hai pariyon ki jhumar men sulaiman aj-kal
aindate hain kaj-adai karte hain ushshaq se
bal ki lete hain bahut gesu-e-janan aj-kal
gulshan-e-alam miri nazron men bagh-e-sabz hai
dekhta huun sabza-e-gor-e-ghareban aj-kal
samna har roz ka hai us but-e-saffak se
ai ‘saba’ allah hai apna nigahban aj-kal
