gale milaa na kabhii chaand baKht aisaa thaa
haraa bharaa badan apnaa darakht aisaa thaa
sitaare siskiyaaN bharte the os rotii thii
fasanan-e-jigar laKht laKht aisaa thaa
zaraa na mom huaa pyaar kii haraarat se
chaTakh ke TuuT gayaa, dil ka saKht aisaa thaa
ye aur baat kii voh lab the phuul se naazuk
koii na sah sake, lahja karaKht aisaa thaa
kahaaN kii sar na kii tausan-e-takhayyul par
hameN to ye bhi Sulemaan ke takht aisaa thaa
idhar se guzraa thaa mulk-e-sukhan ka shahzaada
koii na jaan sakaa saaz-o-rikht aisaa thaa
haraa bharaa badan apnaa darakht aisaa thaa
sitaare siskiyaaN bharte the os rotii thii
fasanan-e-jigar laKht laKht aisaa thaa
zaraa na mom huaa pyaar kii haraarat se
chaTakh ke TuuT gayaa, dil ka saKht aisaa thaa
ye aur baat kii voh lab the phuul se naazuk
koii na sah sake, lahja karaKht aisaa thaa
kahaaN kii sar na kii tausan-e-takhayyul par
hameN to ye bhi Sulemaan ke takht aisaa thaa
idhar se guzraa thaa mulk-e-sukhan ka shahzaada
