Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaaton se bhi zeenat hoti hai

Gulshan ki faqat phoolon se nahin kaaton se bhi zeenat hoti hai,
jeene ke liye is duniya mein gham ki bhi zaroorat hoti hai.

Ae waaiz-e-naadan karta hai tu ek qayamat ka charcha,
yahan roz nigahen milti hain yahan roz qayamat hoti hai.

Wo pursish-e-gham ko ayae hain kuch keh na sakoun chup reh na sakoun,
khaamosh rahoon to mushkil hai keh doon to shikaayat hoti hai.

Karna hi padega jabt-e-alam peene hi padenge ye aansoo,
fariyaad-o-fugaan se aey naadaan tauheen-e-mohabbat hoti hai.

Jo aake ruke daaman pe ‘Saba’ wo ashq nahin hai paani hai,
jo ashq na chhalke aankhon se us ashq ki keemat hoti hai.
