tera dhiyan liye main nagar nagar ghuma
sharik-e-haal thi teri nazar ki pahnai

ki aasman o samundar jaga diye jis ne
faza mein abr ke paikar bana diye jis ne

kabhi jo baith gaya main shajar ke sae mein
to mere chehre ko chhune lagin teri sansen

hazar baaten thin patton ke sarsarane mein
hazar lams the jis waqt jhuk gain shakhen

dam-e-ghurub gaya bazm mein hasinon ki
bitaen saaten sohbat mein nazninon ki

har aaine se jhalakta tera gudaz badan
wo jhulte hue fanus tere aaweze

wo mauj-e-rang tera shabnami sa pairahan
tujhe pukaregi raaton ko meri tanhai

ye bhuk ruh ki ye ishtiha-e-be-aram
jo ek marg-e-musalsal hai ek soz-e-dawam
