ek aalam ne jubba-sai ki
ai buto tum ne bhi khudai ki

aashiqon ke lahu ki pyasi hain
machhliyan us kaf-e-hinai ki

zulf-e-pur-pech se jo dil uljha
bich mein rakh pada safai ki

murgh-e-be-baal-o-par hun ai sayyaad
aarzu hai kisi rihai ki

ai junun dasht ko chalenge hum
hai qasam is barahna-pai ki

sar juda hum ne apna kar dala
aai jab guftugu judai ki

phir gaya yar ghar ke pas aa kar
bakht-e-bargashta ne burai ki

saikdon jame tujh pe phatte hain
dhum hai teri mirzai ki

tujh se to hum ko ai kham-e-abru
thi na ummid kaj-adai ki

koi qatil ki rah bhula tha
ai ajal tu ne rahnumai ki

dil kahin aur hum ne atkaya
be-wafaon se bewafai ki

na gai zahidon ke pas kabhi
dukhtar-e-raz ne parsai ki

shahr mein jaegi meri pa-posh
qadr wan kya barahna-pai ki

saf hai aaina tan-e-pur-nur
hai dalil us pe khud-numai ki

kasa-e-mah kyun na ho pur-nur
barson us kuche ki gadai ki

kaba-e-dil mein bhi maqam kiya
ai buto tum ne kya rasai ki

khat ke aane pe bhi mukaddar hai
surat ab kaun si safai ki

baal-o-par bhi gae bahaar ke sath
ab to surat nahin rihai ki

kis ke kuche ki rah bhula hun
khizr ne bhi na rahnumai ki

shah kahlae har tarah se 'wazir'
baadshahi na ki gadai ki
