Ik Haseen Basti

Ye dunya dukh sukh ka ik haseen sa sangam hai

Tou kyun na insano ki ik basti basa dalain

Who basti jis mei khoobsurat se bagheechay hon

Tou kyun na iss basti ko jannat si bana dalain

Phir iss basti mei akhuwat bhi jhalakti ho

Thanday meetay pani ki nehrain si bichha dalain

Jahan ilm-o-adab ki shamain hi shamain roshan hon

Khiltay huay phoolon ki nurserian bhi bana dalain

Phoot’tay shagoofon ko aazadi ki fizain hon

Rang barangi titilion ke des bhi saja dalain

Khoobsurat aman ka khitta tou maujood hai

Nusrat apnay hissay ka kuch kaam tou ker dalain
