zulf-e-khamdar mein nur-e-rukh-e-zeba dekho
chashm-e-baddur mera husn-e-tamanna dekho

ab wo aaraish-e-gesu se hua hai farigh
ab agar himmat-e-musa ho to jalwa dekho

bahr-e-didar karo dida-e-majnun paida
jurat-e-shauq se phir jalwa-e-laila dekho

aaj phir shauq-e-dil-e-zar ki qismat jagi
aaj phir us ne mujhe pyar se dekha dekho

nigah-e-lutf se dekha hai to thahro kuchh der
ab mere dil ke dhadakne ka tamasha dekho

jo masihai se aari hain unhen kya malum
apne bimar ko tum khud hi khudara dekho

khud chale aao abhi tar-e-nafas hai baqi
ho nahin paega phir dil ka mudawa dekho

aa gaya hai wo yahan nur-e-sahar ki manind
khul gaya jabki mere dil ka daricha dekho

be-sabab zulm ki aandhi na chalao mujh par
yun ujad jaega gulzar-e-tamanna dekho

tum ko kuchh yaad hai ghar ghar mein mera charcha tha
ab usi shahr mein phirta hun main tanha dekho

jo riya-kar hain un se na badhao pengen
chashm-e-ikhlas mein ho jaoge ruswa dekho

jis ki binai se ek shahr hua tha raushan
aaj be-nur hai wo dida-e-bina dekho

ye samajh lo ki wo hai ilm-o-hunar ka madfan
jab kisi shahr mein tum ghalba-e-mulla dekho
