dair-o-kaba ko rahguzar samjhe
dil ko jo koi tera ghar samjhe

ashk-e-khunin bahe to hum dil ko
hadaf-e-nawak-e-nazar samjhe

nala-e-ghair aatish-afshan hai
shab-e-waslat ki tum sahar samjhe

na utha apne aastan se hamein
hum to baithe hain apna ghar samjhe

nama de kar nazara hai manzur
hum taqaza-e-nama-bar samjhe

ghair se puchhte hain kucha-e-yar
aise rahzan ko rahbar samjhe

wo sitam karne aae hain ijad
aur hum aah ka asar samjhe

sarf karna hai unsur-e-abi
hum tera girya chashm-e-tar samjhe

us se kya muddaa kahun 'salik'
sulh ki baat ko jo shar samjhe
