ishq hai yar ka khuda-hafiz
amr-e-dushwar ka khuda-hafiz

pech mujh par pade jo padna ho
zulf-e-khamdar ka khuda-hafiz

sar jo takraata hun to kahte hain
meri diwar ka khuda-hafiz

sarfaroshon ki chashm-e-bad na pade
un ki talwar ka khuda-hafiz

dafn hum ho chuke to kahte hain
is gunahgar ka khuda-hafiz

dasht chhuta to aablon ne kaha
yan ke har khar ka khuda-hafiz

baat karne mein hont ladte hain
aise takrar ka khuda-hafiz

bulbulen qaid-e-baghban ghafil
gul-e-zardar ka khuda-hafiz

gar 'sakhi' ko hai ishq ka aazar
aise bimar ka khuda-hafiz
