dil kun dildar ke niyaz kare
tan kun aaram-o-sukh sun baz kare

hue tab rag-e-ishq sun aagah
rag-e-jaan jab ki tar-e-saz kare

is sukhan ka ajab hai afsana
jo sune us kun ahl-e-raaz kare

said karne ke tain kabutar-e-ishq
tair-e-dil misal-e-baz kare

harf-e-haq par agar hai dil sabit
misl-e-mansur sar niyaz kare

aashiqan kun niyaz hai lazim
naznin gar ada sun naz kare

shoala-e-ishq us pe hue raushan
shama san dil kun jo gudaz kare

pahunchne ilm kun haqiqat ke
sair az nuskha-e-majaz kare

koi us sarw-qad kun ja bolo
dars dikhla ke sarfaraaz kare

khol kar zulf-e-ambarin yak-bar
rishta-e-shauq kun daraaz kare

jo padhe tere sher kun 'daud'
aakhirash dil kun ishq-baz kare
