Pas e deewar e shab tanha masawwir eik baitha tha
koee sani na tha jiska jo apne fan mein yakta tha

ke jiska naqshe awwal doosron ka naqsh e aakhir tha
bahut khud se pasheman tha bahut shoreedah khatir tha

mata e fan jigar kawi ka jisko mahasal kahta
nathi aisi koee tasweer jisko aaidial kahta

khayal e justujoo ye khoob tar mein sar badaman tha
inheen fikre talatum khez mein ghaltaan o pechan tha

yakayak yun sadaye khwab geen aayee sama-at mein
uroose naaz mahjoob e takallum jaise khalwat mein

masawwir ! ai masawwir !! is qadar maghmoom aakhir kyun
ye aah e sard bekhwabi dam e masmoom aakhir kyun

main dawa to naheen karti teriuqdah kushayee ka
magar ai kash batla do sabab apni udasi ka

agar fankar ka takhleeq mein jalwa haqeeqat hai
main tera aks hun mujh mein teri rooh e tareeqat hai

masawwir ne suye aawaz dekha hairan nazron se 
nazar khairah huee noor e gul e taban ke jalwon se

ajab tha wadiye kuhsaar ka rashk e jinan manzar
the koh o abshar o taayer o gul saare afsoon gar

jahan chattan ki aaghosh se chashma ubalta tha
woheen do chotiyon ke darmiyan suraj nikalta tha

safedi barf ki kuhsaar pe is tarha jamti thi
ke choti gundhne kirnein ufuq se tooti padti theen

bayan kya kije aawarah kharami aab sharon ki
thin ta-zeeman jhukeen donon taraf shakhein chunaron ki

kabhi nairangiyan dekhi na thi aisi baharon mein
they ranga rang gulhaye haseen raqsan qataron mein

bayan kya ho gulon ke aatsheen rukhsar ka aalam
raqam kya kijiye aatish kadah gulzar ka aalam

saba ke paaon madhoshi ke aalam mein bahakte they
parind ath kheliyan karte huye har su chahakte the........(continue qist soyem)
