ab tak mere ahwal se wan be-khabari hai
ai nala-e-jaan-soz ye kya be-asari hai







ho jawe hai us ki saf-e-mizhgan se muqabil
is dil ko mere dekhiyo kya be-jigari hai

kis bagh se aati hai bata mujh ko ki phir aaj
kuchh aur hi bu tujh mein nasim-e-sahari hai

tera hi talabgar hai dil donon jahan mein
ne hur ka juya hai ne mushtaq-e-pari hai

hai aur hi kuchh aab-o-hawa shahr-e-adam ki
har shakhs jo 'bedar' udhar ko safari hai
