gul-e-sukhan se andheron mein tab-kari kar
nae sitare khila khwab-shaar jari kar

bas ab faqir ki duniya mein aur dakhl na de
teri bisat hai dil bhar so shahr-yari kar

main karobar-e-jahan ko samet kar aaya
bas itni der to dil ki nigah-dari kar

yahin kahin kisi lamhe mein dil bhi hai larzan
tawajjoh sare zamanon pe bari bari kar

wahi na ho ki ye sab log sans lene lagen
amir-e-shahr koi aur khauf tari kar

ye qaht-e-nur to 'babar' khabar nahin kab jae
so dil ke arsa-e-khali mein khwab-yari kar
