didani hai hamari zebai
hum ki hain husn ke tamannai

bas ye hai intiha talluq ki
zikr par un ke aankh bhar aai

tu na kar apni mahfilon ko udas
ras hai hum ko ranj-e-tanhai

hum to kah den 'salim' haal tera
kab wahan hai kisi ki shunwai

aur to kya diya bahaaron ne
bas yahi chaar din ki ruswai

hum ko kya kaam rang-e-mahfil se
hum to hain dur ke tamashai

wo junun ko badhae jaenge
un ki shohrat hai meri ruswai

mo'taqid hain hamari wahshat ke
shahr mein jis qadar hain saudai

ishq sahib ne dil pe dastak di
aaie murshidi o maulai

ye zamane ka jabr hai ki 'salim'
ho ke mere bane hain saudai
