Josh malihabadi ki ek nazm

Naddi ka moR, chashmaa-e-sheereen ka zer-o-bam
chaadar shab-e-najoom ki, shabnam ka raKht-e-nam
moti ki aab, gul ki mehak, mah-e-nau ka Kham

in sab ke imtizaaj se paida hooi hai tu
kitne hasin ufaq se huvaida hooi hai tu

lehja malih hai, ki namak Khwaar hoon tera
sehat zabaan meN hai, ki bimaar hoon tera
azaad-e-she'r hooN, ki griftaar hoon tera

tere karm se, she'r-o-suKhan ka imaam hoon
shaahoN pe KHanda-zan hooN, ki tera ghulam hoon
