ghar mere aate aate wo dilbar palat gaya
wo kya palat gaya ki muqaddar palat gaya

hangam-e-qatl dekhne pae na shakl hum
talwar mar kar wo sitamgar palat gaya

mujh se faqir ko na diya chain ishq ne
takiya ulat gaya kabhi bistar palat gaya

ai yar dekh kar teri qamat ki rasti
gulzar mein har ek sanobar palat gaya

naraaz ho ke phir jo gae tum shab-e-visal
mera nasib ai mah-e-anwar palat gaya

aankhen phira ke tum ne dikhaya jo khal-o-khad
barham kachahri ho gai daftar palat gaya

kya sar-nigun zamana hua mere samne
sar par har ek shah ke afsar palat gaya
