ये तिरा जमाल-ए-कामिल ये शबाब का ज़माना

कभी हुस्न की तबीअत न बदल सका ज़माना
वही नाज़-ए-बे-नियाज़ी वही शान-ए-ख़ुसरवाना
The turning world could never change the temperament of beauty: still that same haughty aloofness, still that royal, sovereign grace.

मैं हूँ उस मक़ाम पर अब कि फ़िराक़ ओ वस्ल कैसे

तिरे इश्क़ की करामत ये अगर नहीं तो क्या है

तिरी दूरी ओ हुज़ूरी का ये है अजीब आलम
अभी ज़िंदगी हक़ीक़त अभी ज़िंदगी फ़साना

मिरे हम-सफ़ीर बुलबुल मिरा तेरा साथ ही क्या
मैं ज़मीर-ए-दश्त-ओ-दरिया तू असीर-ए-आशियाना

मैं वो साफ़ ही न कह दूँ जो है फ़र्क़ मुझ में तुझ में
तिरा दर्द दर्द-ए-तन्हा मिरा ग़म ग़म-ए-ज़माना
