Yun to ae bazm-e-jahan! dilkash thay hungaamay teray
Ik zara afsurdagi teray tamashaion mein thi
Paa gayi aasoodegi kooye mohabbat mein woh khaak
Muddaton aawara jo hikmat ke sehrāon mein thi
Kis qadar ae mai! tujhe rasm-e-hijaab aayi pasand
Pardah angoor se nikli to meenaon mein thi
Husn ki taseer par ghalib na aa sakta tha ilm
Itni nadaani jahan ke saaray danaaon mein thi
Main ne ae Iqbal, Europe mein use dhoonda ‘abas
Baat jo Hindustan ke maah-e-seemaaon mein thi
