jab se dilbar ka aastan dekha
tha jo dushman wo meherban dekha

jis ne us dar ki khaksari ki
us gada ko shah-e-zaman dekha

jab se dekha maqam-e-wahdat ko
na doi ka kahin nishan dekha

kya kahun ishq ka main lutf-o-karam
dil mein dilbar ko be-guman dekha

jis ko kahte hain surat-e-insan
la-makan ka wahi makan dekha

kya hain dilbar ke khwab naz-o-ada
kahin zahir kahin nihan dekha
