dasht ki dhup bhar gaya mujh mein
mera saya bikhar gaya mujh mein

nam ho chahe aks ho tera
ek jazira ubhar gaya mujh mein

padh saka jo waraq waraq na mujhe
wo mukammal utar gaya mujh mein

us ko guzre guzar gain sadiyan
ek lamha thahar gaya mujh mein

kis ko dhundun kahan kahan dhundun
khushbuen kaun bhar gaya mujh mein

qaid-e-tanhai se nikale wahi
jo mujhe qaid kar gaya mujh mein

kis ka matam kare 'salim' koi
ajnabi tha jo mar gaya mujh mein
