deti hain thapkiyan teri parchhaiyan mujhe
rashk-e-bahisht hain meri tanhaiyan mujhe

mere nasib mein sahi aah-o-fughan magar
ab to sunai deti hain shahnaiyan mujhe

kitne uruj par hai mere ishq ka waqar
hasil hain ku-e-yar ki ruswaiyan mujhe

mail hai chashm-e-mast idhar lag raha hai ab
aawaz dengi jhil ki gahraiyan mujhe

qaem hai mere dard ka ab tak wahi bharam
ab bhi salam karti hain purwaiyan mujhe

is daur-e-sarkashi ki kashakash ke darmiyan
lagti hai pur-sukun jabin-saiyan mujhe

jo the kharab wo to bulandi pe hain 'alim'
pasti mein le gain meri achchhaiyan mujhe
