aa gai nind sar-e-sham khuda khair kare
kis liye mil gaya aaram khuda khair kare

tha to aaghaz mohabbat ka bahut hi pur-kaif
aur ab talkh hai anjam khuda khair kare

dastan-e-rasan-o-dar na taza ho jae
un ke lab par hai mera nam khuda khair kare

be-irada lab-e-mayus pe kyon aaya hai
shikwa-e-gardish-e-ayyam khuda khair kare

ab na maikhane mein wo agli si raunaq baqi
na wo mina hai na wo jam khuda khair kare

khalish-e-dard hi marne ke liye kya kam thi
us pe ye hasrat-o-alam khuda khair kare

husn-e-dil tod ke mamduh-e-jahan hai 'arshad'
hae ye khu-e-dil-aram khuda khair kare
