ghair se bad-guman ho jate
meri sunte to kan ho jate

mehrban aasman ho jate
aap agar mehrban ho jate

mere ghar mehman ho jate
dil mein tum aa ke jaan ho jate

jate hum zar us gali mein agar
zarre bhi aasman ho jate

pir-e-fani ko waqt-e-baada-kashi
hum ne dekha jawan ho jate

nam mera jo bazm mein aata
mere lakhon bayan ho jate

dil to kahta hai lutf-e-wasl ye tha
jaan-e-man meri jaan ho jate

kahte teri si barg-e-gul bulbul
ye bhi teri zaban ho jate

bose kya le koi tasawwur mein
ki hain rukh par nishan ho jate

zulm dhate jo aate turbat par
farsh-e-rah aasman ho jate

baadalon mein jo mai bhari hoti
jhuk ke unchi dukan ho jate

shaikh ji mai-kada wo jannat hai
tum bhi ja kar jawan ho jate

pasban to raqib ban jata
hum tere pasban ho jate

milte kam-umr mah-jabin jo 'riyaz'
hum abhi naujawan ho jate
