kis ne sada lagai ki hairan kar diya
mujh se meri rihai ka elan kar diya

wo to bura hi man gae hum ne jis ghadi
un ke diye sharap ko wardan kar diya

ab tak tere sawal se hota tha ji udas
ab ke mujhe jawab ne halkan kar diya

bigde hue nawab hain pahle hi dil miyan
aur tum ne in ko ishq ka sultan kar diya

tere qiyam se raha aabaad shahr-e-dil
hijrat ne teri phir ise viran kar diya

us la-zawal husn pe iman lae hum
kafir ki ek nazar ne musalman kar diya

ye mere sang hone se pahle ki baat hai
patthar ko puj puj ke bhagwan kar diya

ro kar kiya visal ko pur-lutf aur phir
khush rah ke hum ne hijr ka nuqsan kar diya

us ne hisar-e-shab ki badhai hai chaukasi
hum ne bhi jugnuon ko nigahban kar diya

sursa si phailti hui aadam ki bhuk ne
jangal mitae shahr bayaban kar diya
