ai dil tere tufail jo mujh par sitam hue
puchhe jo mujh se koi to kah dun ki kam hue

mere charagh-e-zehn ko wo gul na kar sake
haalanki sab andhere mere dil mein zam hue

harf-e-ghazab se bhi hamein mahrum kar diya
yun be-niyaz hum se hamare sanam hue

un ki zamin-e-dil ka to qissa hi aur hai
warna un aansuon se to sahra bhi nam hue

ahbab ne to raste dhunde the mukhtalif
lekin sab aa ke meri hi rahon mein zam hue

rabt-e-dili se khalq ko ab wasta kahan
ab to hama-shuma bhi asir-e-manam hue

'arshad' fasil-e-zehn mein badhne laga jo habs
hum shahr-e-dil mein ja ke zara taza-dam hue
