مجھ کو بھی سودا ہوا ہے اُس ستم ایجاد کا

Mujh ko bhi sauda hua hai us sitam ijaad ka

Ae mazaq-e-josh-e-wahshat! waqt hai imdaad ka

Jhamghata hai mere gham-khanay mein har iftaad ka

Dard ka, gham ka, alam ka, aah ka, faryaad ka

Ab to ae sayyaad tere dil mein thandak parh gayi

Uth gaya gulshan se bistar bulbul-e-na-shaad ka

Day chuka dil aap ko, ab taab-e-sartabi nahi

Har tarah paband hoon main aap ke irshaad ka

Husn walon ko nazakat ki adayen bakhsh kar

Rakh diya qudrat ne seenay mein jigar faulad ka

Kya kisi dasht-e-wahshat mein rakhte hain qadam pehle pehle

Shor-e-zindaan mein yeh kaisa hai, mubarak-baad ka

Jab khizan ke haath se loota gaya rang-e-chaman

Koi bhi pursaan na nikla bulbul-e-na-shaad ka

Muskura kar dekhna mujh ko ba-sad husn-e-karam

Ik pehlu yeh bhi hai zaalim! teri bedaad ka

Mil gayi daad-e-wafa us baani-e-bedaad se

Hum ko tay karna para har marhala bedaad ka

Un ka roohani taawun mujh ko haasil hai Naseer!

Naam-leva hoon dil-o-jaan se shehr-e-Baghdad ka
